Food Samples & Music Draw Crowds to Taste of Main Stroll
Above: The Taste of Main Stroll featured samples at many local restaurants, including tacos from Sport & Leisure, one of EG’s newest eateries. The weather was splendid as the one-week-delayed Taste of Main Stroll took over downtown East Greenwich Thursday (8/22/24). The EG Chamber of Commerce’s final stroll of the summer was a resounding success, with hundreds and hundreds of people crowding the closed section of Main Street, restaurants with seemingly unending trays of samples, and several lively musical offerings.

Bally’s Employees Soak Executives in Annual Fundraisers
The Bally’s Rhode Island properties and its employees donated approximately $6,192 in a pursuit to “dunk their boss” as part of the ALS CEO Soak Challenge on July 15-16. Inspired by the Ice Bucket Challenge, the CEO Soak has grown to become a corporate engagement opportunity for the ALS Association across the United States. ALS, which stands for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and is also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a fatal progressive nervous system disease. The CEO Soak engages business and community leaders while raising critical funds and awareness for the ALS Association’s mission. Regional Vice President and General Manager of Bally’s Tiverton and Lincoln Tony Rohrer braved 90-plus-degree temperatures in a full suit and tie to do his part to support this great cause, the company said in a news release, as employees took their best shots to hit the dunk trigger. All proceeds benefited local ALS care service programs via ALS United Rhode Island.
