Martha's Vineyard

On Friday before the Memorial Day weekend its a tradition for some of the schools on the island to honor the men and women who have served with an annual Walk to the Sea. The Tisbury School children walk down to the harbor and throw flowers in at Owen Park and the children of the Chilmark School do the same in Menemsha. The Menemsha ceremony is at 9am at the coast Guard station and all are welcome. ( photos courtesy of the Vineyard Gazette.)

Memorial Day on Martha's Vineyard

If you’re heading to West Tisbury over the weekend be sure to check out the Friends of Family Planning Art Show and sale at the new Agricultural Hall. After 28 years this much anticipated Memorial Day weekend event will be the last. The fundraiser that has brought dozens of Vineyard artists and art collectors together over the almost 3 decades has served its purpose as the final mortgage payment is made on their premises in Vineyard Haven. Serving the islands reproductive health and well being, Family Planning intends to continue to raise awareness for its needs through other avenues in the future.

The final Friends of Family Planning art show will kick off with an opening launch party on Thursday, May 24 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Agricultural Hall in West Tisbury. The show will run on Friday and Saturday May 25 and 26 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on Sunday May 27 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
