Gettigear is getting it going this weekend with a special Memorial Day Vinyasa inspired yoga class from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. at 29 Main street in Edgartown. The class meets on Saturday and Sunday, May 28 and 29 and is free.
The store specializes in athletic apparel for women so perhaps let your attention drift during Ujjayi breathing, we won’t tell, and check out the latest designs from Zobha.

You might not know that the unassuming, one-story, little building that sits next to the regional high school houses greatness. But it does. Eight women discovered this recently by enrolling in the Telling Your Story Digital Workshop through Adult and Community Education of Martha’s Vineyard (ACEMV).
We often equate artists with one distinct style. But John Holladay, originally from the Midwest and for many years now a resident of Vineyard Haven, paints and illustrates with so much versatility, he’s impossible to pigeon- hole.
And yet one of his hugely successful, largely unknown artistic endeavors is now being celebrated at the Louisa Gould Gallery on Main street, Vineyard Haven. From 1980 to 2000 he was licensed to paint the official artwork for NBA, NFL and college sports teams, work that later appeared on posters, shirts and jigsaw puzzles.
Some might say one is blessed just riding a bike. Nothing but the wind and sky and open road to call home. But, hey, everyone can use a bit of extra blessing when out there on two wheels.
This Saturday, May 28, beginning at 10 a.m. the second annual blessing of the bikes takes place at the Edgartown Federated Church at 45 South Summer street.
The Rev. Dr. Jerry Fritz, an avid cyclist when not in the pulpit preaching the word, will preside.

If you visit the Alison Shaw Gallery during its opening this Memorial Day weekend, you may find yourself among the many who are inspired to go out and make photographs as calmly arresting and as quintessentially Vineyard as Ms. Shaw’s. If this is the case, the best remedy might be a copy of Ms. Shaw’s new book, Photographing Martha’s Vineyard: Where to Find Perfect Shots and How to Take Them.
