Greenhouse Goes Up
The Community Solar Greenhouse (COMSOG) is raising the roof on their greenhouse. The new greenhouse roof is going up on Saturday, Nov. 5, (rain date 11/12) from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. This is not a mere check-it-out announcement, either.
Workers are needed and that means you, couch potato. So much better for the tuber in you, to be warmed by the sun outdoors than the eerie glow of the television. As an incentive, COMSOG offers great food for all who help.
COMSOG is located at 114 New York avenue in Oak Bluffs.
Beetlebung Festival
On Sunday, Nov 6, from 6 to 9 p.m. the Chilmark Community Center is hosting the Beetlebung Festival of the Arts and Edibles. What is that, you may ask. Well, it’s music set to a backbeat of local food made by Chris Fischer.
The music portion of the evening includes locally grown act Jason Nichols and Boston based indie-folk band, You Won’t.
Scallops: A New England Coastal Cookbook, by Elaine Tammi and Karin A. Tammi, Pelican Publishing Co., Gretna, Louisiana, 350 pages, color photographs and illustrations, $39.95.
With fresh bay scallops being landed at Vineyard docks it is time to think about favorite recipes. Earlier this year Pelican Publishing came out with a cookbook and compendium of stories about both the coastal bay scallop and the deep sea scallop. The Vineyard is in the book, though not named often enough.
This coming Monday, Nov. 7, at 8 p.m., the Vineyard Playhouse will present a staged reading of Standing on Ceremony: The Gay Marriage Plays. And they will not be alone. At the same time there will be simultaneous readings of the play worldwide.
Flu Clinics on Veterans Day
The annual all-Island flu clinic will take place at Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School on Friday, Nov. 11 from 8 a.m. to noon. Registration and staging areas will be located at Waban Park in Oak Bluffs and the Agricultural Hall in West Tisbury. Participants must fill out a registration form and visit one of the staging areas prior to going to the high school. Participants may choose to enter the Performing Arts Center or to stay in their cars while shots are administered.
