Holiday Craft Sale
Thanksgiving is still weeks away so those who feel Christmas is a bit greedy when Santa and friends start appearing before the turkey and stuffing has been purchased, let alone eaten and digested, read no further.
But for those who like to get their holiday shopping out of the way now and avoid Black Friday, not to mention the frenetic pace of shopping throughout the month of December, welcome aboard.
In celebration of the upcoming Veterans Day holiday, the Martha’s Vineyard Museum has launched a new online exhibit sharing the stories of Vineyard World War II veterans.
Those Who Serve: Martha’s Vineyard and World War II, began as an exhibition in the Museum during 2009 and 2010. The exhibit’s popularity resulted in an oral history book curated by Linsey Lee. Short audio excerpts of those interviews have now been put together with archival photos in an online exhibit allowing people all over the world to hear the stories.
Let Us Now Praise Our Veterans
On Nov. 11, Veterans Day, we are given the opportunity to take a deep, collective breath and say thank you to the men and women who have bravely served our country.
Here on the Vineyard we bear witness in many ways, beginning with a parade in Oak Bluffs. The parade recently received recognition as a special designation of regional importance from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
Junior High Cinderella
Next Friday and Saturday evening, Nov. 18 and 19, the Tisbury school gym will transform itself into the magical world of Cinderella for the junior high school play. Twenty-three student actors have been rehearsing since the first week of school to prepare the show that’s a lot of glass slippers to try on. Four other students make up the stage crew, cue turning into a pumpkin. Barra Peak returns this year as a graduate assistant.
The show is a musical, think Julie Andrews reborn
