@queenannesloft hosts an Unlimited DJ Party Brunch @queenannesloft hosts an Unlimited DJ Party Brunch every Saturday & Sunday from 10–3, and honestly? It’s one of the only places we’re willing to be vertical before 11am on a weekend. It’s unreasonably fun. There’s delicious food. There’s dancing. There’s usually someone in sequins before noon. One flat price gets you all the brunch bites your soul requires (and your outfit can handle). Then choose whether to go full throttle with unlimited cocktails—or keep it classy and à la carte. Your call. @darealdjnook spins genre-hopping magic that makes you pause mid–bacon bite and say, “Wait—is this a disco remix of Fleetwood Mac?” Yes, yes it is. We look forward to this all week. We’ve never had a friend or relative visit and not drag them here. It’s brunch. It’s a party. It’s dancing. It’s vaguely chaotic in the best way. Bonus points for happening inside one of the prettiest historic buildings in Newport. Walk-ins are welcome, but honestly—be smart. Reserve on Resy.com, especially if your group rolls deep. Bonus: Queen Anne’s Social isn’t just a brunch riot. It also hosts cocktail hour and small bites with live music every Friday and Saturday from 4–11 p.m. Perfect for a pre-dinner drink, a nightcap, or—for the ambitious—both. Queen Anne’s Social

With hearts broken and lives forever changed, we s With hearts broken and lives forever changed, we share the unimaginable loss of our beloved Kelly Nicole Nevitt, 15, who passed away leaving behind a world that was brighter because she was in it. Born on Sept.18, 2009, in Newport, RI, Kelly was the cherished daughter and best friend of her mother, Sharon Nevitt. Their bond was inseparable - a friendship built on unconditional love, laughter, shared secrets, and endless support. To Sharon, Kelly was not only her daughter but her greatest joy, her light, and her heart. Kelly was, in every way, extraordinary. She had a voice that could stop you in your tracks and a gift for performing that lit up the stage. Musical theater was her passion, and she shone in her favorite roles - the sassy Rizzo in Grease and the spirited Sister Mary Lazarus in Sister Act. Whether she was singing, dancing, or laughing with friends, Kelly’s presence was magnetic. She was known for her quick wit, big heart, and boundless compassion. She was the funniest, kindest, most loyal friend - the kind of person who made everyone feel welcome and important. She had a special way of lifting others up, always reminding people how much they meant to her. Animals held a special place in her heart, especially her beloved cat, Diva and dog, Pearl, who were her constant companions and best furry friends. Kelly leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, music, and unmatched spirit. She is deeply mourned and endlessly missed by her mother, Sharon, her grandfather, Thomas Nevitt, her aunts and uncles, her cousins, and the countless lives she touched with her light. Kelly loved deeply and expressed that love often, especially to her close friends, who she valued more than words could say. Kelly was predeceased by her grandmother, Ann-Marie Nevitt. A celebration of Kelly’s life will be held June 16 at 2 PM at Green Valley Country Club, 371 Union St., Portsmouth. where friends and loved ones are invited to gather and honor the incredible life of a girl who gave us so much in such a short time. In honor of Kelly’s compassion and creativity, donations may be made in her memory to The Newport Children’s Theatre. (full obituary at link in bio)
Governor Dan McKee on Wednesday signed legislation Governor Dan McKee on Wednesday signed legislation renaming the Sakonnet River Bridge in honor of Staff Sergeant Christopher Potts, a Tiverton resident who was killed in Iraq on his 38th birthday while serving his country. The newly designated Staff Sergeant Christopher Potts Sakonnet River Bridge now stands as a lasting tribute to the beloved husband, father, son, soldier, and community member who made the ultimate sacrifice on October 3, 2004. At the ceremony held in the Governor’s State Room at the State House, McKee emphasized that Potts’ service and sacrifice will not be forgotten, and the bridge signage will serve as a daily reminder to thousands of Rhode Islanders who travel the bridge. Potts served more than 14 years in the Alpha Battery, 1st Battalion, 103rd Field Artillery of the Rhode Island National Guard. He was activated in January 2004 and deployed to Iraq in March. He was killed during Operation Iraqi Freedom. He was the husband of Terri Ann Conley Potts, and together they had two sons, Christopher Scott Potts Jr. and Jackson Benjamin Potts. He was the son of Arthur J. Potts of Portsmouth and Elizabeth Miner Hackett of Middletown. Potts lived a life of service and dedication to both country and community. Outside of his military career, he worked as a boat builder at New England Boatworks in Portsmouth for seven years, was a member of the VFW in Portsmouth, and played in the Middletown Softball League for various teams. Joining the governor at the ceremony were Representative Samuel Azzinaro, who sponsored the legislation, and members of the Potts family, along with military and legislative leaders. #newportbuzz #rhodeisland #hero
