Matt Lamoureux, KidsFest Entertainment Coordinator said, “KidsFest Area this year will be the best one yet! We have rethought the entire structure of the KidsFest area and performance acts to create an all new immersive KidsFest experience. Autumnfest is proud to partner the interactive experience of the KidsFest Area with local Woonsocket nonprofit, Riverzedge Arts. Bringing some interesting and engaging games, they are excited to offer a truly unique type of creative artistic experience; Participants will be able to purchase blank t-shirts which Riverzedge Arts students will then guide them to hand press a custom designed screen print image onto the shirt themselves.  KidsFest Interactive Tent returns this year with well-known characters and performers.”  The complete line up is below

The Pentagon is getting around 15-hundred troops prepared for potential deployment to Minnesota. It comes as anti-ICE protests continue in the state after the deadly shooting of Renee Good by an agent. President Trump has said he may invoke the Insurrection Act as a result of the unrest, however on Friday, he said he may not use it any more.        The Supreme Court will listen to arguments tomorrow on whether states have the right to ban guns on private property that's open to the public. At the center of Tuesday's case is a Hawaii law that does just that, unless a gun owner has specific permission from the property owner. Similar laws are in effect in California, Maryland, New York, and New Jersey.        President Trump isn't ruling out using force in efforts to acquire Greenland. In a phone interview with NBC News, Trump was asked if the U.S. would use force to seize the Danish territory, to which he said "no comment." Over the weekend, the President said he would put ten-percent tariffs in place on Denmark and other European countries until a deal was reached for the U.S. to get Greenland.        Nike is honoring Martin Luther King Jr. with a new sneaker, the "Honor the King" version of its LeBron 23 shoe. The show is a shade of teal taken from the exterior of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, where King was killed by an assassin's bullet in 1968 and is today the National Civil Rights Museum. The shoe, to be released Tuesday, has faced criticism online for its decision to use the motel's color scheme, but a Nike spokesman noted design is subjective and the intent was to pay homage to Dr. King.        The University of Minnesota is offering online classes amid a surge of ICE agents and the deadly shooting of Renee Good. The university said it's doing so for those who feel unsafe coming to class. It comes after several K through 12 school districts announced they'd offer online classes to students who are too scared to attend in person.        A national champion will be crowned tonight in Miami. The top-ranked Indiana Hoosiers are set to face off against the Miami Hurricanes at Hard Rock Stadium. The Hoosiers enter the matchup undefeated, with wins over Alabama and Oregon in the College Football Playoff. Miami enters 13-and-2 and beat Texas A&M, Georgia and Ole Miss in the playoff en route to the national championship.
