The annual Martha’s Vineyard Wind Festival is blowing into Ocean Park in Oak Bluffs on Saturday, October 12. Wind power will set kites to flying, frisbees to sailing and boats to floating as folks gather at the park. A free kite-making session for children is from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. with flying competitions beginning at noon.

Teens can compete from 1 to 2 p.m. and the adult competition is from 2 to 4 p.m. There will be frisbee games throughout the afternoon and model sailboat races for children are planned.

The Martha’s Vineyard Wind Festival takes place on Saturday, Oct. 12, but no need to wait to get in the kite-flying mood. The poster for the event was created by Traeger di Pietro and is available now for $20. Sales of the poster benefit the American Cancer Society’s breast cancer research. Posters are available at the Field Gallery in West Tisbury, Craftworks in Oak Bluffs, the Island Art Gallery in Vineyard Haven or by contacting Holly Alaimo at 508-693-5444.

The Trustees of Reservations offers a new StoryWalk this fall at Menemsha Hills Reservation. The book Blueberries for Sal by Robert McCloskey will be posted page by page along the trail so as hikers continue to walk they will also move deeper into the story. Fitness and literacy, finally walking hand in hand together.

The StoryWalk Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, Vt., and developed in collaboration with the Vermont Bicycle & Pedestrian Coalition and the Kellogg Hubbard Library.

Cycle Martha’s Vineyard invites you to rediscover the beauty that abounds on the Vineyard as you take to your bicycle on Sunday, Oct. 6.

The fee includes a T-shirt, aid stations and a post-ride barbecue.
