The select board unanimously voted Wednesday to place a bylaw on the annual town meeting warrant after raising concerns about the number of large events and the lack of regulatory oversight.
Sheriff’s Meadow Foundation and The Nature Conservancy received the grants for conservation projects in Edgartown and West Tisbury from the state Department of Fish and Game. 
The West Tisbury select board voted 2-1 last week to allow the annual event, but said the festival could have no more than 300 attendees – less than half of what the festival had hoped for.
Milena Lowe and Julius Lowe, of West Tisbury, announce the birth of a son, Felix Julius Lowe, born on Jan. 30.
Vanessa Czarnecki and Matthew Sharkovitz, of West Tisbury, announce the birth of a daughter, Zoey Christina Sharkovitz, born in Jan. 22.
Bri and Kevin DeGulis, of West Tisbury, announce the birth of a daughter, Maxine Jo DeGulis, born on Dec. 19 at the Martha’s Vineyard Hospital.
Robert Edward Lee Knight 3rd of West Tisbury died on March 5.
