While Derby fishermen weigh in their catches at the Edgartown weigh station this week, colorful fish arrived by land for the seventh annual Bass in the Grass fundraiser.
The event features local artists creating signature designs on wooden fish cutouts, with a portion of the sales supporting the Derby Scholarship Fund and the Edgartown Board of Trade.
