P.J. Keating played a big role in this year’s Gaspee Days 5K that helps provide funds for the parade, the most costly event of the celebration. The company donated $3,000, covering half the cost of painting the blue and red stripe of the parade route down Narragansett Parkway and into Pawtuxet Village. Keating also supplied water for the road race. Pictured with Gaspee Days Committee president, left, is Carl Turgeon, the Cranston quarry manager. (Warwick Beacon photo)
