MAIN STAGE HIGHLIGHTS (subject to change)
12 Noon:
Over two decades ago, the demands of Katie McDonald’s corporate career occupied her every waking moment. She was left feeling depleted and depressed—suffering from spiraling mental and physical health crises that threatened her life.
Left with no choice but to transform her body-mind relationship, Katie abandoned her corporate job and finally started applying her knowledge of self-care, alternative health, and plant-based nutrition.Since then, Katie has been on a revitalizing journey of lifelong self-care. Fully recovered from years of self-neglect, Katie now helps fellow doers embrace self-care so they can do more and be more while leading healthier, more intentional, and more nourished lives.
Katie leads with tough love to inspire, empower, and challenge audiences. She dispels the destructive myth that self-care is an obstacle to productivity and teaches that self-care is, in fact, a tool to create a more powerful and impactful legacy.
12:30pm: Comedian Doreen Collins
Doreen started her showbiz career at the tender age of 8 in front of 20,000 people with none other than Diana Ross and the Supremes. Not willing to share the limelight, Doreen and Miss Ross parted ways immediately after the performance.
You may have seen Doreen on one of her NBC 10 shows: UnReal Deal, The Wedding Showcase, or the award-winning late-night local comedy, Rhode Bytes. Maybe you've seen her regular appearances on WPRI The Rhode Show with her 'Senior Moment' segments. The familiarity doesn’t end with the face; her distinctive voice has been heard on radio and TV commercial voice-overs. It's hard to forget, which has really put a cramp in her prank phone-calling career.
She’s doing what she loves best: making people laugh. She along with Charlie Hall have created a new hit called AGING DISGRACEFULLY. It's a mix of stand-up, song, satire and skits on the perks and pitfalls of getting old. From botox to bifocals to bingo.
1pm: Celebrity Chef Frank Terranova
Delicious Cuisine Awaits! Our main stage features the finest culinary expert we know. If you ask anyone in Rhode Island to quote Frank Terranova, they'll excitedly respond, "Now THAT'S Cooking with Class!"

Chef Terranova also spent 28 years teaching at Johnson and Wales University, and today continues to share his knowledge with the people of Rhode Island as a regular celebrity chef on Studio 10.

2pm: Katy Annulli Owner of KMA Organizing
Katy Annulli Owner of KMA Organizing brings you a Guide to ORGANIZING YOUR LIFE! There are people who are more organized than others, but organization is a learned skill. I have found that clearing a space also clears my mind of mental clutter as well. Over the past 8 years I have gained more skills to keep my physical space, digital space, and business more organized. This order allows my mind to be focused and calm. The fast paced lives we lead can make it easy for our homes and lives to become disorganized. Clearing clutter from our physical space helps us clear our minds. With less visual distractions we are able to focus better and be more present. Physical and digital clutter can be overwhelming to tackle alone. Let's break through the barriers that keep you feeling disorganized.
