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.
Island Schools Chicken
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.
World Dinner, Dance
On Saturday night, Nov. 26, the place to be is the World Dinner and Dance Party to benefit Media Voices for Children and the Kenyan Schoolhouse.
Media Voices for Children is an
Island-based Internet news agency for children’s rights. The goal of the organization is to raise public awareness about the impact of poverty and globalization on the world’s children via video, interactive media, documentary films and organizations.
Photo Contest
Who you calling an amateur photographer? Time to step it up and show the pros, not to mention naysayer uncle Joe, that your photos have game.
It’s the annual Martha’s Vineyard Magazine photo contest, a chance for professionals, almost pros, and even young Trudy (can you believe she’s 16 already?) to strut their stuff.
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.
