It would be impossible to count the many times I have been to Wickford in my life. Many of my friends live right in the village and the high school I attended is about 3 minutes away. Me and my friends use to walk from school every day into Wickford and hang out there. I also use to work at The Wickford Diner my junior year of high school. I was a dishwasher and needless to say I hated my job more than anything else at that time.
Wickford is a very popular tourist location for North Kingstown. They hold an Art Festival every year in early July. This is a nationally renowned show and makes traffic in Wickford backed up for miles. My family and I use to do this every year but as my brother and I got older, we stopped attending. This was a great milestone in my life because I have not enjoyed going to the festival since I was about 7. Wickford also has a Festival of Lights every year in December. All the shops in Wickford decorate their windows with lights. It is impossible to see the night sky due to the excessive lights. This is something I regularly attend with friends. There is a lot of food, music and Christmas gift sales so it would be foolish not to attend.
I can't decide if I want to include these festivals in the travel page. I don't think there is enough information to fill up a whole section with them so I may just mention them at the top of the page.
I still have yet to visit Wickford since starting this project so that is on my to-do list. It really is hard to find the time to do this with classes in full swing at this point. I am also procrastinating a little bit because of all the writing that comes with me visiting Wickford; there are a lot of shops and stores that I am going to have to write about.
