TRICKED-OUT SCHOOL BUS
High Society CannaBus This skoolie doesn’ t take you to school, but for some, it takes you to higher education. The CannaBus— no, that’ s not a typo— is a creation from cannabis event company High Society. At High Society events, people can board the yellow vehicle and spark up while enjoying food, drinks and live entertainment. High Society’ s goal is to eventually offer bong-painting classes, bingo and comedy nights and more. 300 Farmington Ave., Cranston, 339-6738, instagram. com / highsocietyskoolie

Gallery owner Kate McNamara assembles cutting-edge exhibits and curatorin-dialogue talks with aplomb, and a visit to the East Providence gallery is always sure to surprise. Ten-foot-tall gyrating sunflowers. Colorful ceramic slabs laid out on the floor. Hand-knotted wool rugs that beg to be stepped on. You never know what to expect when walking through Odd-Kin’ s doors, but odds are it will be thought-provoking and fabulous. 89 Valley St., East Providence, odd-kin. com

LINE DANCING LOCATION
Mishnock Barn
We might live in the Northeast, but once you step into Mishnock Barn, you’ re transported to the South in the best way possible. The barn offers weekly line-dancing lessons where you can enjoy light bites and drinks from the bar while dancing with an all-levels crowd. The cash-only establishment has an ATM, so you really only need to put on your straw hat and cowboy / girl boots and get ready to kick ball change the night away. 200 Mishnock Rd., West Greenwich, 397-3505, mishnockbarn. com
