Those who have fond memories of Rocky Point as an amusement park and enjoy it today as a public park can now get plates to show off their attachment. The first 185 of the plates, which had been ordered and paid for up to five years ago, were distributed Saturday morning at Edgewood Yacht Club in Cranston. Enabling production of the plates was legislation approved this year lowering the required threshold of 600 pre-paid orders to 150 provided the non-profit entity benefiting from the “charity plate” provided the difference the state would have received with 600 pre-orders. The Rocky Point Foundation plans to use funds raised from the plates that now can be ordered from the DMV website to make park improvements. Three Warwick Area Career and Technical graphic arts students, Anthony Lescarbeau, Meaghan Marcus and Skye Whelpley collaboratively designed the plate six years ago Lescarbeau and Whelpley attended the distribution of the plates along with graphics arts teacher Jann Gardner Rogers.
