The Possible Dreams Auction will hold its 33rd auction on August 1 in Ocean Park in Oak Bluffs. Established in 1979 as an event where bidders can win “unbuyable opportunities with a Vineyard connection,” it remains one of the most enduring celebrity auctions in the country.

Last weekend several upstanding West Tisbury citizens were met with an unhappy surprise when they went to buy their beach permits for the summer.

“There was a small glitch,” town administrator Jen Rand told selectmen this week, explaining that residents of West Tisbury are unable to purchase town permits if they owe taxes.
