Weekend Edition: Columbus Day and more
Whether your taste runs from Columbus Day weekend events (don't miss our Top Weekend Picks, here), a visit to RI's best pumpkin patches (find the best ones, here), fun autumn ideas to do with the kids (for Anisa Raoof's Kidoinfo inspirations, go here), or an afternoon conference on breaking taboos and sexual health (read all about it, here), it's a wonderful three days in the Ocean State.
Want a break? Spend time with Arlene Violet, who took GoLocalProv on a tour of landmarks related to the Mafia and the Witness Protection Program (invented here!). Follow her to Federal Hill, the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul, and a convent in Cumberland.

Finally, take a moment and think ahead to Monday, when National Coming Out Day celebrates the civil rights of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Rhode Islanders. In the light of recent campus tragedies, it's a moment to pause and take stock.
