What's Open, Closed on Fourth?

Independence Day is a holiday for government offices and the library, but some stores and restaurants stay open.

Today is the Fourth of July.

The day is celebrated as a public holiday in Barrington. But not everybody is shutting down. For some businesses, in fact, it will be business as usual.

So, you’re in luck if your’re celebrating with a cookout? Or heading on down to Bristol for the parade? And you need some last-minute supplies.
