Whaling Exhibit
The Martha’s Vineyard Museum and the West Tisbury School’s multiage class invite the public to Thar She Blows!, a celebration of learning, on Thursday, June 19, from 12:30 to 2 p.m. The event is scheduled for the museum’s Pease House at 59 School street, Edgartown. Thar She Blows! is an exhibit of student work about whales and whaling. This year-long study was based upon an interdisciplinary curriculum unit which focuses on teaching with primary sources, funded by the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
A group of touring Tibetan Buddhist monks will perform traditional dance and music, as well as construct an ornate circular mandala made entirely of sand in variously colors – the first time such a Tibetan ritual has taken place on the Vineyard — over the coming week.

They were dressed to kill in the highest of heels and long strings of pearls; gussied up in bow ties and Ferragamo shoes. But last night, at the Martha’s Vineyard Preservation Trust’s 23rd annual Taste of the Vineyard Gourmet Stroll outside the Dr. Daniel Fisher House in Edgartown, fashion took a back seat to the gluttonous display of food, wine and sweets.
