A Weekend of Coaching in Newport

Posted

It's a colorful, historic event and there's no place like Newport to experience it.  A Weekend of Coaching returns from August 16-19, when a collection of privately-owned, authentic 19th century horse-drawn coaches will parade through the streets of Newport and the grounds of the Newport Mansions. On Saturday morning, August 18, there will be an exhibition of driving skills on the back lawn of The Elms, sponsored by BankNewport, starting at 10:30. Admission to the exhibition is free.  Don't miss this beautiful recreation of an historic sporting tradition!

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
