Moo or oink or cock-a-doodle-doo if you love story hour and farms, because Morning Glory Farm is set to host a preschool story hour every Tuesday in December beginning at 11 a.m.

The stories take place in the farmstand loft and feature farm inspired stories and songs. Imagine that, parents do the boring shopping routine, although not really boring with all the fresh veggies at the stand, and kids get to get cozy in the loft, playing Heidi.

Celebrate all things kale at a festival in its honor taking place at Mermaid Farm on Middle Road in Chilmark.

The event takes place Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will feature kale cooking demonstrations, kale tastings, a potluck brunch, a kale cook-off and farm tours. No word yet on whether it’s time to break out the kale hats and mittens.

The Island Community Chorus sounded its first note back in 1996. Today, under the direction of Peter Boak, it’s a veritable Island institution. Anyone can join, and no auditions are required. But that’s not to say the choir lacks talent.

The Island is filled with marvelous singers; they lurk behind bank teller windows, serve fried fish sandwiches all summer long, bag your groceries, plant your flowers, say hello (in tune) at the post office, ferry line, and from porches galore.
