Work and social events sometimes do cross paths. That is, you’ll never know when a casual conversation will lead you to something you have just encountered in your professional life. It happened recently over the last weekend.
In the Kingstown and Narragansett area there is the Pettaquamscutt River, or more commonly known as the Narrow River. Several months ago we filmed it as we put together several videos on properties in the area. It appeared to be a great body of water for kayaking or fishing. Little did I know that an acquaintance is the president of the Narrow River Preservation Association and he recently received an award for his 40-year involvement with the association, which focuses on the preservation of this river’s environment. But as he put it, the award belongs to everyone involved. He then told me of the 10K and 5k run/walk they held in May and the upcoming 5th annual Mile Turnaround Swim they are holding on the 19th of June. Both of these events benefit the preservation efforts. He indicated the swim is a beautiful site to watch. It is getting to the season where visiting the beaches and rivers of South County will become more common activities. It is nice to know that there is a dedicated group of individuals around to make sure the resources are preserved for us to enjoy.
