Autumnfest Kidsfest Entertainment

 

Woonsocket –   KidsFest 2024 At Autumnfest will be the best and most interactive one yet! We have rethought the entire structure of the KidsFest area and performance acts to create an all new immersive KidsFest experience.  Building upon the success of 2023 with children’s amusement rides having relocated to the Kidsfest area separate from the main midway, children and their families will enjoy an entire area of the festival curated especially for them with the mix of interactive and visual experiences and entertainment all weekend long. 

 

Matt Lamoureux, KidsFest Entertainment Coordinator said, “In addition to the schedule of diverse entertainment in the Interact Tent, we are bringing an expanded footprint for the children’s amusement rides and adding a few unique vendors to the area, with products and services specifically targeted towards our youngest guests.  We are also partnering with a few local community youth organizations to offer new unique activities, while aiding to provide visibility of their services to the youth and families of the northern Rhode Island community and beyond.”

A key report shows wholesale inflation slowed last month. The July Producer Price Index shows a rise of zero-point-one percent. The PPI measures prices that businesses receive for goods and services. Economists had been expecting a slightly higher increase, according to a survey by the Wall Street Journal.        Over one-point-three million people tuned into Elon Musk's conversation with former President Trump on X last night. Some technical issues delayed the conversation, but the pair still spoke for over two hours. They discussed the attempted assassination of Trump in Pennsylvania, immigration, Russian President Vladimir Putin, the threat of global warming, and more.        Voters are heading to the polls for primary elections in Connecticut, Minnesota, Vermont, and Wisconsin today. In Minnesota, progressive Congresswoman Ilhan Omar will defend her seat against former Minneapolis City Council member Don Samuels. The contest comes after two other members of the so-called progressive "Squad," Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush, lost their Democratic primaries this cycle.        Tropical Storm Ernesto isn't expected to hit the U.S. mainland as it heads up the Atlantic Ocean. Current forecasts show the storm will bring heavy rain and flooding to Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands today. The National Hurricane Center says Ernesto will then head northward and into the Atlantic.        A former Colorado clerk is facing up to 22 years in prison for election tampering. Tina Peters was convicted yesterday and will be sentenced in October. Prosecutors argued she let an unauthorized person access Mesa County's voting equipment in 2021 and make a copy of hard drives, as well as pictures of passwords, and then tried to cover it up.        U.S. gymnast Jordan Chiles will not have her appeal heard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. On Sunday, the International Olympic Committee said it would take away her bronze medal because of a scoring error. Monday, USA Gymnastics said in a statement that it was notified that CAS rules don't allow for an arbitral award to be reconsidered.
