It’s almost here, that day full of fabulous tradition and community spirit is just around the corner. The kids have been lacing up their sneakers and stretching out their legs in anticipation of the annual Chilmark School Turkey Trot. On Tuesday, Nov. 20 at 11 a.m. the entire school, many friends, neighbors and alumni will walk, trot and, perhaps, even gallop their way down Middle Road from Beetlebung Corner to the end of Keith’s field and back. Instilling the notion of healthy bodies, healthy minds and good clean fun is what it’s all about.
The weather pattern was favorable for the first few weeks of fall but bright skies changed to swirling winds and storm clouds that seemed to inflate before my eyes over the Sound.
