Published on February 27, 2025


Clear your calendars because in this season 7 segment of Weekends with Yankee (episode 704), we have a packed schedule. Richard is in Richmond, Rhode Island, to meet Paul Mihailides, president of the Preserve Sporting Club and Resort. From winter to summer, the Preserve offers almost every outdoor activity imaginable and was designed to bring families back into nature. In this segment, Richard tries his hand at horseback riding, fly fishing, and pigeon shooting (no live pigeons were harmed) before ending the day at the Preserve’s hobbit houses.
