Autumnfest Parade Wants Entertainment

 

Woonsocket – The 40th Autumnfest Parade can use you.  The Autumnfest Parade Committee is looking to add more entertainment this year.  All professional DJ’s and bands, here is your chance to get in the parade and promote your DJ business or band.

 

If you have DJ service that entertains at weddings, anniversaries, birthday parties, or any social gathering, then grab your equipment, get a flatbed or even a pick-up truck and enter the parade.  You can play any music you like and talk to the crowd as you promote your business to everyone along the parade route and the people listening on the radio and watching the parade on cable and streaming video online.  Remember, to have signs on your vehicle telling everyone who you are.  This is your chance to get the crowd pumped up.

 

All those that are musically inclined, get your band on a flatbed and join the parade.  Imagine your band playing your music to all those people as the flatbed rolls down the parade route.  Be sure to have signs made so people know who you are.

 

Floats of all kinds are also welcomed in the parade.

The Supreme Court will hear arguments today on former President Donald Trump's claim he has absolute immunity on charges of attempting to overturn the 2020 election. The outcome could determine whether Trump faces a federal trial this year on four felony counts brought by special counsel Jack Smith, which include conspiracy to defraud the U.S. and obstruction of an official proceeding.        The abortion issue was front and center in America on Wednesday. First, the U.S. Supreme Court heard a case is over whether Idaho's near-total abortion ban conflicts with a federal law requiring hospitals to provide patients emergency care. A decision is expected in June. Later in the day, Arizona's House of Representatives voted to repeal a Civil War-era abortion law that bans nearly all abortions, and the bill now heads to the state Senate.        The seven World Central Kitchen workers killed in Gaza will be honored this morning at Washington National Cathedral. The workers were killed in an Israeli airstrike on April 1st while bringing food aid to people in the war torn Palestinian territory.        The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is suing the Federal Trade Commission over its banning of noncompete agreements. The FTC voted Tuesday to block new noncompete agreements and require employers not to enforce current noncompetes, with an exception for senior executives. Business groups argue that these agreements are actually necessary to protect their intellectual property. They accuse the FTC of regulatory overreach.       A Beatles guitar that's been missing for over 50 years has been discovered in the attic of a British house. Julien's Auctions says the 12-string Hootenanny acoustic guitar is the same one John Lennon played on classics like "Norwegian Wood," and he can be seen playing the guitar in the movie "Help!" It will be going up for auction next month in New York City.        The road to the NBA Finals continued on Wednesday. The Miami Heat pulled off a 111-101 upset victory over the Boston Celtics in Game Two at TD Garden. Out West, the Oklahoma City Thunder crushed the New Orleans Pelicans 124-92 at the Paycom Center.
