Albeit several months later than planned because of the pandemic, the Warwick Mall launched a series of celebration events that started this weekend and will occur during the year to recognize its 50th anniversary. The official grand opening of the mall and ribbon cutting was on July 29, 1970. Naturally on Saturday, there was a cake, but not one to be cut up into pieces. That wouldn’t work given protocols for distancing. Rather, shoppers were given individually packaged cupcakes frosted in mall colors. On Saturday Rick Lataille of WRIK Entertainment engaged shoppers in games of Disney Feud, handing out shopping certificates to winners and losers. Anthony Marrapese of Balloon Twisting by Antknee made balloon creations giving them to delighted kids and their parents. On Sunday the fun continued with Lite Rock 105 and more cupcakes. A schedule of future observances hasn’t been set, but keep watching because they’ll be coming.
