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.”

Several current and former NBA players and coaches are facing federal charges tied to illegal gambling and game-fixing schemes. FBI investigators say Miami Heat player Terry Rozier and former coach Damon Jones used insider information to place bets, while Portland Trailblazers coach Chauncey Billups was arrested in a separate poker scheme linked to the Italian-American mafia. More than 30 people are facing charges in the investigations.        Partisan gridlock in the Senate is keeping federal workers unpaid as the government shutdown enters its 24th day. Democrats blocked a GOP bill to pay only essential workers, while Republicans rejected two Democratic proposals to pay all federal employees. The standoff continues as both sides trade blame over broader negotiations.        President Trump says he's canceling all trade negotiations with Canada after an ad that used former President Reagan's warnings about the long-term risks of tariffs. Trump said on Truth Social that tariffs are very important to the national security and economy of the U.S., accusing Canada of using the ad to "interfere" with a pending Supreme Court case regarding Trump's authority to impose sweeping tariffs.        Target is axing 18-hundred corporate jobs in its first major round of layoffs in a decade. New CEO Michael Fiddelke announced the move in a memo Thursday, saying it affects about eight percent of the company's corporate staff. Around 800 of those positions will be eliminated entirely, with employees set to be notified Tuesday.        For the first time in more than 500 years, the King of England and the Pope prayed together at the Vatican. King Charles and Queen Camilla joined Pope Leo inside the Sistine Chapel in a historic show of unity between the Anglican and Catholic churches, marking a step toward closer relations since England's split from Rome in the 16th century.        Two major coral species off Florida's coast are now considered "functionally extinct" after a 2023 marine heat wave. A new study in Science says staghorn and elkhorn coral have nearly died out, leaving too few to sustain the reef ecosystem they once supported.
