A true community event.
A true community event. - Ray Ewing

This year’s Barn Raisers Ball saw crowds pack the Ag Hall to commemorate the anniversary of the hall’s construction. In 1994, more than 300 Islanders gathered to help raise the building that is now home to the Agricultural Society.

Islanders enjoyed the traditional potluck, the sounds of Johnny Hoy & The Bluefish and guests even witnessed a marriage proposal.
