Arts & Entertainment
Open the doors to the Agricultural Hall on a Winter Farmers’ Market Saturday and the warm atmosphere immediately embraces you. A few steps in, familiar faces gather fireside on benches sharing stories and hearty food, while Kevin Keady and Don Groover provide the background music in the great room filled with local goods.
Turkey Burner Day
The YMCA feels the pain of your extended stomach. So much turkey, potatoes, stuffing, brussels sprouts (maybe?) and on and on. So what’s a beached whale supposed to do? Burn turkey, burn.
Free of charge, the Y is celebrating its second annual Turkey Burner Day on Friday, Nov. 25. What this means is you can sample all the Y has to offer, from the pool to exercise equipment and exercise classes, for free. The free child watch is also available.
Yes, there is no excuse.
For Fairies and Trolls
This holiday season it’s time to think about the fairies. After all, come the cold winter months they certainly need homes, not to mention another warm log on the fire. Think how long you’d survive in a skimpy tutu and wings.
Don’t forget the trolls, either. They may be ugly but they’re not all bad. Especially the little ones.
Island Schools Chicken
After the Turkey, Potluck and a Jam
There is Thanksgiving. You stuff yourself and then, for a moment, decide never to eat again. But just as quickly the feeling passes. You are no longer a bursting beach ball, but rather a ravenous bear, ready for more.
You creep to the fridge, under the cover of night, only to discover that Uncle Tully and Aunt Midge, who, let’s face it, really are bears, have eaten all the leftovers, right down to the moldy candied yams and Sugar Pops cereal you hid behind the spice rack.
