The long range forecast wasn’t that good, but then the Gaspee Days Arts and Crafts Festival was blessed with descent weather – although some more sun would have been welcome – Saturday and Sunday. Monday wasn’t as forgiving. The event is one of the major fundraisers for the Gaspee Days Committee that stages the annual commemoration of the burning of the British schooner Gaspee in 1772, which is locally acclaimed as the first blow for American freedom. The Gaspee Days celebrations continue this weekend with the road race, parade and block party on Saturday and the burning of the Gaspee on Sunday afternoon.
