CUMBERLAND, RI – You can’t beat it for ‘Good Old Days’ picture postcard Fourth of July Americana.
Since 1927, the villagers of Arnold Mills have gathered along Sneech Pond Road – today’s Nate Whipple Highway – to mark the Fourth of July with a parade, followed by good summer eats and a concert of patriotic songs.
And for the past 39 years, the day has started with a village road race.
The four-mile run, which starts at 9 a.m. at the Lafayette Masonic Lodge and ends at the North Cumberland Fire Station, typically draws 450 athletes. Last year, Chris Magill of Cumberland was a five-time winner clocking 20 minutes and 19 seconds.
