One of my favorite events of the year, The Rhode Island Nature Video Festival will be held on Saturday February 21 (snow day Sunday February 22) at 3 PM in Gaige Hall on the RI College campus. Gaige Hall is along the main quad. The event is FREE but we would appreciate if you would register so we know how many cookies we need to go along with hot chocolate.
