There are a number of opportunities to see top-notch baseball, golf, tennis and even polo in Rhode Island during the summer.

Specifically, you can watch the Boston Red Sox Triple-A affiliate team, the Pawtucket Red Sox, which has been much in the news recently; the Newport Gulls, a New England Collegiate Baseball League team; pro-fessional golf at the CVS Health Charity Classic; championship lawn tennis at the International Tennis Hall of Fame; and interna-tional polo at the Newport International Polo Series.

PawSoxDespite a tumultuous

year of speculation about the future of the Pawtucket Red Sox, aka the PawSox, and McCoy Stadium, the move to a new stadium in downtown Providence is not happening. Another season has started at McCoy, which has long held a special place in the hearts of Rhode Islanders. 

You can’t beat $12 for box seats, $7-$10 for other seating and $5-$10 for kids and senior citizens to see first-class baseball in a family-friendly atmosphere. Check for special events, including post-game patri-otic fireworks July 1-3.

The PawSox season opened in April. The final regular-season home game — against the Buffalo Bisons, the top minor-league affili-ate for the Toronto Blue Jays — is scheduled for Sept. 5.

McCoy Stadium is at 1 Columbus Ave., Pawtucket. For more infor-mation, go to pawsox.com.

Newport GullsYou can see top college

players at Cardines Field, a small, restored gem of a sta-dium, in June and July. The Newport Gulls play their first home game, against the Ocean State Waves, of Wakefield, on June 9.

Tickets are $5 for general admission, $2 for children 13-18, military person-nel and seniors. Children 12 and under get in for $1. The All-Star game is at the stadium on July 17. The last regular-season game is Aug. 1, against the Keene Swamp Bats out of New Hampshire. Keep in mind that the sched-ule is limited and the games are popular.

Cardines Field is at 20 America’s Cup Ave., New-port. For more information, go to newportgulls.com.

GolfThe 2016

CVS Health Charity Clas-sic, at the Rhode Island Country Club, in Barrington,

is a showcase of topflight golf. It begins Sunday, June 26, with the Pepsi Pro-Am and runs through Tuesday, June 28.

The event is hosted by Rhode Island pros Brad Faxon and Billy Andrade. The pro tournament gets under way on Monday, June 27, and features 20 top play-ers from the PGA, LPGA and Champions tours.

Players are paired into 10 two-person teams, accord-ing to the event’s website. Each team’s hole score is determined by the better score of the two players. In the event of a tie at the conclusion of 36 holes, the playoff hole will be the 18th. 

Keegan Bradley and Jon Curran took home the top prize last year.

Admission on Sunday, which is Family Day, is free. One-day tickets for Monday and Tuesday are $25 each, with children under 17 admitted free if accom-panied by an adult with a ticket. Free public parking is at the Seekonk Speedway, with free shuttle bus service until one hour after play

concludes.The Rhode Island Coun-

try Club is at 150 Nayatt Rd., Barrington. For more information, go to cvshealthcharityclassic.com.

TennisIn July, the International

Tennis Hall of Fame, site of the first U.S. Open, hosts the only professional U.S. tennis tournament played on grass. 

This year, the International Hall of Fame Tennis Cham-pionships runs July 10-17, starting with a Family Fun Day. Tickets for qualifying rounds start at $23 for adults and $11 for youth. Prices increase as the week pro-gresses, culminating in $99 for seats in the south stands and $119 for court chairs for the finals on Sunday, July 17. A seven-day pass costs $312 for the south stands, $378 for court chairs and $532 for box seats.

On Saturday, July 16, a number of stars from days gone by, including Belgian Justine Henin, Russian Marat Safin, Yvon Petra of

France, and the late British player Margaret Scriven will be inducted into the Hall of Fame. 

The International Tennis Hall of Fame is at 194 Bel-levue Ave., Newport.  For more information, go to halloffametennischampion-ships.com.

PoloPolo may be a sport for

the rich but all are welcome to come and watch contests in the Newport Interna-tional Polo Series, where the action is fast and furi-ous. Teams of four compete, scoring from horseback by driving white wooden or plastic balls into the goals with long mallets. 

The opening match in Newport is June 4, with the U.S. team facing off against Mexico. Other matches include other American teams and international teams from as far away as Australia. Games are played at 5 p.m. on most Saturdays throughout the summer, and 4 p.m. for the last four games, which are in September.

Happily, prices have not changed since last year. General admission to the lawn seating, grandstand seating and tailgate parking areas is $12, with children free up to the age of 15. Seats are $20 in the Alex and Ani Pavilion and $50 on certain days in the Positive Energy Polo Lounge. Different pric-ing applies to reserved areas.

The Newport polo grounds are at Glen Farm, 250 Linden Lane, Portsmouth. For more information, go to nptpolo.com.

SALAD NIÇOISE3 cups cold, blanched green beans

3 or 4 quartered tomatoes

1 cup vinaigrette (see note), or oil and vinegar

Salad greens

3 cups cold potato salad

1 cup imported tuna packed in oil

½ cup black Mediterranean olives

2 to 4 hard-boiled eggs, cold, peeled, quartered

6 to 12 anchovy fi lets, drained, optional

2 to 3 tablespoons minced fresh herbs

Trim beans and drop into a large kettle of rapidly boiling salted water. Boil the beans, uncov-ered, for about 8 to 12 minutes, until tender but with a slight suggestion of crunchiness. Drain immediately and run cold water over the beans or dunk them into ice water. Drain and pat dry. May be refrigerated in covered bowl up to 24 hours.

Just before serving, season the beans and tomatoes with several spoons of vinaigrette. Toss the greens with ¼ cup of vinaigrette and place the leaves around the edge of the plate. Arrange potato salad in the center. Decorate with the beans and tomatoes, inter-spersing with chunks of tuna, olives, eggs and anchovies. Pour remaining vinaigrette over salad, sprinkle with herbs and serve.

Serves 6 to 8 as a first course, 3 to 4 as main dish.

Note: To make the vinaigrette, combine 2 to 4 tablespoons wine vinegar (or a mixture of vinegar and lemon juice) with ¼ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon dry mustard and whisk until salt is dissolved. Then gradually beat in ¾ cup olive oil or salad oil, and season with a big pinch of pepper. You can also place all ingredients in a screw-top jar and shake vigorously to blend. Stir in 2 to 4 tablespoons minced green herbs of your choice, such as parsley, chives, tarragon and basil. Makes about 1 cup.

Salade Nicoise is a plate of fresh vegetables, hard-boiled eggs, tuna and potato salad pulled together with an herb vinaigrette. THE PROVIDENCE JOURNAL

This lovely recipe was shared by former Journal Food Editor Donna Lee as part of a end of summer picnic story.

LIME CREAM AND STRAWBERRY PIE

4 large eggs

1 cup sugar

1 tablespoon grated lime zest

½ cup fresh lime juice

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces

½ cup heavy cream, chilled

1 prepared crumb crust (your favorite)

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced

Combine the eggs, sugar and lime zest in a heavy saucepan and whisk until smooth. Add the lime juice and butter and cook over medium heat, whisk-ing constantly, until the mixture is thickened, 7 to 9 minutes. Do not allow the mixture to boil. Pour the hot lime curd through a fine strainer into a glass bowl. Place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the lime curd. Refrigerate the lime curd until it is cold and thick, at least 3 hours and up to 3 days.

In a medium-size bowl of an electric mixer, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the lime curd and then scrape the filling into the prepared pie shell. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate it until the filling is com-pletely set, at least 6 hours and up to 1 day.

PVDFestLast year it was the Provi-

dence International Arts Festival.  This year, it’s been renamed PVDFest. But whatever you call it, it’s an event you shouldn’t miss, as thousands are expected to converge on downtown Provi-dence June 2-5 for four days of art, music, food, dance, crafts and more.

The action will be centered in the Kennedy Plaza area, including City Hall, Burnside Park, and the Alex and Ani City Center.

But events will extend all the way down Washington Street to Empire. (Washington Street will be closed to traffic during the festival.)

There will be family activi-ties in Burnside Park and an arts exhibition and block party in the parking lot of The Dean Hotel on Fountain Street.  The parking lot behind the Arnold Building on Washington Street will become a dance floor, while AS220 will program public art installations and performances in and around its downtown buildings.

FirstWorks, the founding creative partner for PVD-Fest, has announced some of the featured artists. They include the 17-piece Afro-Cuban All Stars; Lakou Mizik, a multigenerational group of musicians from Haiti; Rocky Dawuni, from Ghana, who unites Africa, America and the Caribbean on the dance floor; Newpoli, playing music from the south of Italy; Red Baraat, a band from Brooklyn, New

York, by way of India; and Plena Libre, from Puerto Rico.

And don’t forget Close-Act Theatre from the Netherlands, which will set “dinosaurs” loose on the streets of down-town Providence.

For more information, go to pvdfest.com.

Washington County FairThis year marks the 50th

anniversary of the Wash-ington County Fair, which will be held Aug. 17-21 on the fairgrounds off Route 112 in Richmond.

Chairman Clyde “Pete” Fish said the fair will commemo-rate the anniversary with a big fireworks display on Wednes-day night.  There will also be a cake or, more accurately, a cake-eating contest.

The fair, expected to attract 100,000, is a celebration of the state’s agricultural heritage, and includes live-stock exhibits, tractor and horse pulls, lawn-mower races, games for all ages, and lots of food and rides for both children and adults, including a midway with a new roller coaster. 

This being the Ocean State, the popular “Battle of the Fishermen” will be back, when local fisherman compete in throwing lines, banding lob-sters, tossing fish and more.

The fair will end with the traditional tug-of-war com-petition, which attracted 52 teams last year.

Of course, there will be plenty of entertainment at the main stage, located in a natural amphitheater in a pine grove.

On the schedule so far is

John Michael Montgomery on Wednesday, Aug. 17, Cana-dian country singer Terri Clark on Thursday, Aug. 18, and Craig Campbell on Friday, Aug. 19.

Saturday, Aug. 20, the fair will present a “Salute to Rhode Island” with Billy Gilman performing at 2 p.m. (Gilman got his start at the Washing-ton County Fair), then Tim Charron at 6 p.m. and John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band at 9 p.m.  On Sunday, the fair will feature country duo High Valley. 

Admission to the fair is $10 for adults; children 10 and under are free. 

For more information, go to washingtoncountyfair-ri.com. 

National Guard Air Show One of the biggest events

of the summer is the annual Rhode Island National Guard Open House and Air Show, at Quonset State Airport in North Kingstown. This year the air show will be June 11-12, and will feature the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds.

There will be lots more to see, both in the sky and on the ground.

Other attractions include the Shockwave Jet Truck, a jet-powered truck that can reach speeds in excess of 300 mph. The air show will also have Ace Maker Air Shows, which features a vintage T-33 jet and aerial acrobatics from pilots Mike Goulian and Rob Holland.

The show will also feature some vintage World War II planes, including a B-25 bomber and P-51 and P-40 fighters, plus a parachute team and a “combined arms dem-onstration” that will include helicopters and massive cargo planes.

Gates open at 9 a.m., performances start at 10 a.m. and last until about 4:30 p.m. Admission to the show and parking is free.  A $10 donation will be requested at the gates

to benefit Hasbro Children’s Hospital, but that is voluntary. Shuttle buses will be avail-able from parking areas.  Lawn chairs, camp chairs and blankets are permitted at the festival, but no coolers, lounge chairs, or pets.

For more information, go to rhodeislandairshow.com.

South County Hot Air Balloon Festival

Speaking of aerial displays, the South County Hot Air Balloon Festival, held each year at the University of Rhode Island athletic fields on Route 138 in Kingston, will be July 22-24.  There will be music, food, entertainment, carni-val rides and, of course, hot air balloons. There should be about 10 balloons at the event, although the exact number hadn’t been nailed down at press time.

Attendees can purchase tethered rides from individual balloonists, and highlights of the festival include the “bal-loon glows” on the evenings of Friday, July 22, and Saturday, July 23, when the balloons are inflated and lit from within.

Whether the balloons will actually be released from their earthly bonds and float freely depends on the weather.  The best time for balloons to fly is near sunrise or sunset, and whether they go or not won’t be known until the daily weather briefings.

Also flying, albeit briefly, will be the Cannon Lady (whose name is Jennifer Smith), who will be shot out of a cannon several times a day during the festival.

John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band will per-form Friday evening; there will be fireworks Saturday evening.

The festival is open from 4 to 10 p.m. July 22; 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. July 23; 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. July 24. Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for children 6 to 14, free for children 5 and under, and $25 for families. Parking is free.

The Newport mansions are one of Rhode Island's greatest cultural resources, as well as one of the state's most popular tourist attrac-tions. But what if you've already done the Big Three mansions — The Break-ers, The Elms and Marble House — so many times you could probably find your way around the grounds in the dark? Are their other places to go for a glimpse of America's Gilded Age?

As it turns out, the answer is a definite"yes." What's more, the organization that owns the The Breakers and other mansions, the Preser-vation Society of Newport County, is making it easier than ever to visit some of its lesser-known estates.

Beginning this year, all 10 of the society's historic properties will be open by Memorial Day weekend. That means sites such as the Green Animals Topi-ary Garden, the Isaac Bell House (considered one of the greatest of Newport's Shingle Style mansions) and Hunter House (a Colonial-era gem that's as intimate as The Breakers is impos-ing) will be open about three weeks earlier than usual.

Of course, if you've never visited the mansions before — or if you're host-ing friends and family from out of state — by all means take them to see the Big Three. For everyone else, here's a quick look at some of Newport's lesser-known mansions.

KINGSCOTEConsidered an outstand-

ing example of Gothic Revival architecture, Kingscote was built in 1839 for George Noble Jones, a wealthy Southerner who summered in the City by the

Sea. Originally designed by Richard Upjohn, the estate was extensively remodeled and enlarged in the 1870s by McKim, Mead and White, the same firm that designed the Rhode Island State House.

Of special note: The dining room, which features a series of beautiful Tiffany windows.

ISAAC BELL HOUSEThe Breakers and The

Elms may be bigger, but no Newport mansion is more revered by fans of Ameri-can architecture than the Isaac Bell House. Built in in 1883 for a wealthy cotton baron, the house is con-sidered one of the best and earliest examples of Shingle Style architecture — so-called because plain cedar shingles were used in place of traditional brick or stone. Designed by McKim, Mead and White, it's also one of the first houses to boast an "open" floor plan with fewer walls and larger, sunnier rooms.

CHEPSTOWIf you've ever wondered

what it was like to live in a Newport mansion, this lovely Italianate villa should be at the top of your to-do list. The reason: unlike many Newport mansions, where the original furnish-ings were sold or removed, the owners of Chepstow gave both the house and its contents to the Preservation Society. The result is a true time capsule of a bygone era.

GREEN ANIMALSThough technically not a

Newport mansion (it's actu-ally located in Portsmouth), Green Animals is worth a visit both for its sweeping views of Narragansett Bay and its famed topiary gar-dens. Created by two master gardeners — Joseph Carreiro and his son-in-law, George Mendonca — over a period of nearly 80 years, the gardens include birds and animals, geometric figures and other fanciful designs sculpted from a combina-tion of California privet, yew, and English boxwood.

HUNTER HOUSEYou could probably fit

a dozen Hunter Houses inside The Breakers. Still, this Colonial-era resi-dence is worth a visit, if only for its outstanding collection of period fur-nishings, including several pieces by Newport's famed Townsend-Goddard furni-ture-making clan.

For more on the New-port mansions, including ticket prices and tour times, visit newportmansions.org. (Note: The Breakers, Chateau-sur-Mer, The Elms, Marble House and Rosecliff are currently open to the public. All remaining properties will be open as of Saturday, May 23.)

Lesser-known sites worth a visit too
