Calm before the crowd

The parking lot of the former Benny’s on West Shore Rd. was empty of people yet at the same time of carnival attractions on Wednesday. That’s because the carnival was set to start at 6:00 p.m. Wednesday, and will run 6:00 to 10:00 again Thursday night, then 6:00 to 11:00 on Friday and Saturday nights. The carnival is sponsored by the J.O.N.A.H. [Join Our Neighborhood And Help] that continues to support community programs including scholarships. Per weather.com, the next few days will be mostly sunny with highs in the 80s and lows in the 60s, with a 0% chance of precipitation all weekend. This marks the first time the parking lot of the now-closed Benny’s store is going to be used for a public event. (Warwick Beacon photo)
