You’re listening to the Westerly Sun’s podcast, where we talk about the best local events, new job postings, obituaries, and more. First, a bit of Rhode Island trivia. Today’s trivia is brought to you by Perennial. Perennial’s new plant-based drink “Daily Gut &amp; Brain” is a blend of easily digestible nutrients crafted for gut and brain health. A convenient mini-meal, Daily Gut &amp; Brain” is available now at the CVS Pharmacy in Wakefield. Now, some trivia. Did you know that Rhode Island can be divided into two distinct geographical regions?  The Coastal Lowland covers the south and east, and includes the islands of Narragansett Bay and Block Island. The region has lagoons and sandy beaches and it becomes forested west of the bay. The state’s northwestern corner is the Eastern New England Upland and has lakes, ponds, and hills. It contains Rhode Island’s highest point, Jerimoth Hill. It’s Friday and almost the weekend. The Mystic and Noank Library is hosting a virtual event where kids and adults can learn to draw cartoons.
