Well, once again, welcome to New England. Just a few days ago we were complaining on how unusually cold it was and then at a blink of an eye we are talking air conditioners and wondering if the breeze is going to come up and cool things off. Oh, well, happy summer!

A Gathering of the Island Artful
It’s not every day that you can walk into the Grange Hall and hear the steel drums of the Drum Workshop, Inc. plinking in one corner, the delicate strumming of the berimbau from the Angola Center for Capoeira drifting in from another, and artists, artisans and performers chatting about the various projects they have on the horizon.

Windemere Auction Party Tonight
Windemere Auction Party Tonight
Nestled amidst the Martha’s Vineyard Hospital is the elderly housing wing known as Windemere. In a way, the hospital sort of hugs the complex, literally encircling the building, and figuratively by giving the residents the much needed care they deserve.
But living at Windemere is not about staying at the hospital. Rather, residents take part in the abundance of activities the Vineyard has to offer. One of the ways this is possible is through the annual Windemere live auction event.

Ghost Tours Highlight Vineyard’s Spirited Past
The ghosts and haunts have been quiet of late on the Island but just when you thought it was safe to go back to the graveyard, the joint is about to get bone-rattling busy.
That’s right, no more cozy winter potlucks for our Island ghosts bored with scaring the local residents because, well, we scare them back. They are now ready to greet the summer visitors and take them on a ferry ride of another sort, to the grand beyond. Consider yourself forewarned. Perhaps best to go with a seasoned guide.
