The event was held at Atrium on Main in Pawtucket and catered by Plouffe’s Diner and Pub.
“Our goal really is to highlight our local businesses here in the City,” said Pawtucket Commerce Director Sandra Cano. “We are looking forward to future events and thank Bank Newport for their sponsorship of the first in our series. We are looking to do a number of these events and promote various industries.”
