This was the first year for the Martha’s Vineyard Wine Festival, not to be confused with the Martha’s Vineyard Food & Wine Festival, that happens in October. I heard a little about it here and there, and there were a number of different events happening during the festival, which started Thursday May 9 and continued through Sun...

We knew that this year’s Teddy Bear Suite was something special.  I don’t know if it was the new hotel room — or I should say actual suite — at the Harbor View Hotel, or the new mascot, Chappy, or the commemorative bears, but our second year shattered my expectations! The Martha’s Vineyard Teddy Bear Suite raised over $7,500 f...

Well it’s hard to believe it, Christmas in Edgartown has come and gone.  It was a wonderful weekend full of holiday magic including the Teddy Bear Suite where a lot of holiday memories were made.  It was three fun-filled days of happiness and lots of hugging of teddy bears at the Harbor View Hotel’s room 201.  People...

I can’t Bear it.  It’s the final day of the Teddy Bear Suite.  If you haven’t stopped by, today is the day!  We’ll be there from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.  It seems as though the weekend of Christmas in Edgartown goes by so quickly, and I never get to do all the things I want to. I didn’t make a wreath at Donaroma’s this...

Today begins the second day of the Teddy Bear Suite.  Yesterday, dozens of people visited the Suite, room 201 at the Harbor View, and shared in the holiday magic.  Children went from room to room meeting all the bears, sharing hugs and enjoying the splendor surrounding them.  The teddy bears made a lot of people happ...

Before the doors open this afternoon at the Teddy Bear Suite in the Harbor View Hotel, we invited a couple little tykes to come and help us make sure that it was ready for the crowds.  If these cuties liked it, we knew were set for Christmas in Edgartown. The look on the faces of the little ones was priceless.  Every...

It’s almost time for Christmas in Edgartown and that means the Teddy Bear Suite!  Our goal with the 2nd Annual Teddy Bear Suite is to raise $5,000 for the Martha’s Vineyard Boys & Girls Club’s After School Program. There are two ways you can help. Visit us at the Teddy Bear Suite this weekend at the Harbor View Hotel where...

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 ...
