Grandparents Day
Friday, August 26 from 9 a.m. to noon it’s grandparents day at the Native Earth Teaching Farm off North Road in Chilmark.
Grandparents and their little ones are invited to tour the farm, check out the baby animals and learn about farming and conservation. Don’t forget to check out the prize-wining humongous pig too.
And because the farm is all-inclusive, well-behaved parents can join in the fun too.
Thrilling rides, impressive artwork, and delicious food — including onion rings, fruit smoothies, barbecued ribs and fresh lemonade — entice Vineyarders of all ages at the Agricultural Fair.
But behind the sights and sounds of the fair, there are many hardworking individuals dedicated to making the Vineyard a better place. The Island Children’s School, the Touchdown Club, and the West Tisbury Firefighter’s Civic Association are three organizations that operate food booths to benefit their organizations.
Summer is on the wane and now, admit it, you’re thinking, yikes, in trying to do everything, be everywhere, have the best summer ever, you forgot how to relax on your vacation. Never fear, there is still time to change course.
