With just two more days until the Teddy Bear Suite and Christmas in Edgartown, the bears are getting ready to move into their water view suite at the Harbor View.  They’re meeting their fuzzy friends who have just arrived, getting their festive, holiday bows, and are ready to make kids from one to 92 smile.  Actually thes...

So the school day has come to an end.  Where is a grade school kid supposed to go?  Mom or Dad may not be home from work for a couple more hours.  Well, there’s the After School Program at the Martha’s Vineyard Boys & Girls Club.  With almost 300 members, the Club has been helping Island children for 75 year...

CHAPPY!!!!! After all the votes were tallied from Facebook, Twitter, email, Pinterest, and even LinkedIn, Chappy was the clear winner, with TisBeary and Gosnold being favored as well.  We love our bear’s new name! It’s actually quite fitting since our other big, lovable bear is named Edgar. As Scott Tuttle — who was ...
