Young Artists on Parade Celebrating Featherstone

Fifteen artists for fifteen years. That’s what Featherstone Center for the Arts in Oak Bluffs is planning this Spring. No word yet on whether each artist will have to tackle a certain year. And how would you represent 1997, for example, anyway? Clinton started his second term, scientists cloned Dolly the sheep, Princess Diana died in a car crash trying to evade paparazzi, the possibilities are endless.

Brownie Sundaes

Brownie Sundaes

The Dairy Queen is open but that’s not the only place to get your ice cream groove on.

This Saturday, April 2, from 4 to 6 p.m. the Edgartown Brownie troop is hosting an ice cream social to benefit the American Red Cross Tsunami relief efforts for Japan.

Doing good while feeling good, it’s a win-win for everyone. Except maybe parents dealing with the after shocks of a sugar high. But that’s a small price to pay for helping those in need.

Friday Night Fever

Friday Night Fever

For many, the poses detailed in the Kama Sutra push the edges of mating rituals. The woodcock, on the other hand, looks at the 64 poses, all of them so mundane in their groundedness, and squawks. This bird gets busy in the air. The woodcock is not shy, either.
