With the Martha’s Vineyard Teddy Bear Suite and Christmas in Edgartown three weeks away, we thought it was time to introduce the newest member of the Point B teddy bear family. This bear is the biggest of our bunch, and is so sweet and cuddly. The only problem is that we need helping naming him. The New Bear in Town Yes, we are ad...

One of the bummers of the Summer coming to an end is that the West Tisbury Farmer’s Market is no longer around to enrich our Saturday mornings. However, we now have the West Tisbury Winter Farmer’s Market at the Ag Hall. It’s an abundance of Island grown meat, produce and other goods. The Ag Hall is transformed into a room ful...

The first snow has fallen on Martha’s Vineyard, and many of us are starting to think of the holidays. Usually one to wait until after Thanksgiving to get into the spirit, this year is a little different. I’m feeling a bit in the spirit a little early. Not that I am ready to hear Christmas songs or see Christmas trees, but I am...

In late October, MV Wine and Spirits opened its doors. Located next to Flatbread by the Martha’s Vineyard Airport, this location is a game changer for a lot of Island residents. Brion and Brion Sr. McGroarty from Town Provisions in downtown Edgartown closed that location and opened their brand new package store, MV Wine and Spirits...

Twenty years later, and the Island is still celebrating the raising of the new Ag Hall in West Tisbury and the community that helped build it with the Barn Raisers’ Ball. Ten years after moving to Martha’s Vineyard, I went to my first Barn Raisers’ Ball. I know, I too can’t believe I had never gone before. I guess I always felt a b...

Offshore Ale 2-For-1 Is Back The Island’s favorite 2-for-1 at Offshore Ale is back.  Starting Mond...

Last year, I wrote about the Scarecrow Festival, the annual Halloween fundraiser hosted by and for the Martha’s Vineyard Public Charter School. It was great to be able to learn more about the event and of course check out a number of the great scarecrows that were made. This year, the theme for the scarecrows is music.  A...

On a chilly night, late October, 12 of us gathered in Mini Park on Main Street, Edgartown. There we were met by Karen Altieri and Gary Cook, two of the Island’s foremost ghost experts, for our Vineyard Ghost Walking Tour of Edgartown. Town was quiet, since it was a Tuesday, and the sky was black, and clear with a bright moon. ...

Halloween may not be until next week, but this is the weekend to get in the spirit on Martha’s Vineyard. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, though it’s more treat than tricks for this lady nowadays. Nevertheless, I could not be more excited about all the Halloween themed events happening. Halloween Candy Accumulation Begins ...

This year’s Martha’s Vineyard Food & Wine Festival was a huge hit with locals and visitors alike. Every event was sold out! Talk about making a comeback! I went to Fresh Off the Farm, the kick-off event to the weekend festival. This local food feast was a lot of fun, and I was able to try some really different foods. Though I h...
