Library Raffle

The Edgartown library is running holiday raffle for three winter baskets of goodies: one for the mystery/adventure lover, one for the romance lover, and one for children. Each has a blanket to snuggle in and lots of good reading and assorted treats.

There also are two original pieces of art. One is a gold framed, scenic oil on canvas, of a classic Vineyard house by Donna Blackburn. The other is a contemporary mixed media work by P.G. Gravelle with a gold fillet frame.
