Daily 5: Dudley Do-Right Was Born on This Day!

1. Guess what? There's a chance of showers, with thunderstorms also possible in the afternoon. Look for fog before 8 a.m., and for clouds the rest of the day. The high should be in the mid-70s.

2. The Montville Patch would love to have you as a blogger! Want to write about local people and politics? How about your son's Cub Scout troop, or your daughter's softball team?

3. Mohegan Sun is bringing back Bingo After Dark this weekend. The event, which launched in February, was so popular it has been expanded to two days! The late-night bingo tournament hosted by KellyAnn Gannon – the ring girl for Cage Titans - features $15,000 in cash prizes.

4. In late April, 48 students from Saint Bernard School visited the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, the Franklin D. Roosevelt Museum and Home, and the Vanderbilt Mansion in Hyde Park, NY.  St. Bernard writes in a press release that visiting the academy where important military figures as Ulysses S. Grant, Dwight Eisenhower, and Douglas MacArthur received their training helps bring history to life for the students.

5. On this day in 1873, Canada's North West Mounted Police force was established. The organization's name was changed to Royal Canadian Mounted Police in 1920.
