June 11, 2014 Leave a comment

This weekend is shaping up to be a fun one!

The kick off for the social season starts Thursday with the highly anticipated Taste Of The Vineyard. Tickets are sold out, but if you hear of someone selling them (try checking out the Facebook group MV Stuff For Sale) snap them up asap because this is the one party you won’t want to miss. The Taste Of The Vineyard, or simply “The Taste” as locals call it, is a gourmet stroll through 85 different venders from the island offering you succulent amuse-bouche, or one bite tastings, and incredible libations of all varieties.

Also starting Thursday, is the annual Classic Cars Weekend. For the 21st year in a row, the Boston Area Roadsters gather at the Wesley House and around the Harbor of Oak Bluffs all culminating in an annual poker run to Aquinnah to raise money for local charities throughout Martha’s Vineyard. All around the island you’ll see antique, classic, and hot rods galore in this fantastic, fun for all ages gathering.

Exhibit Review ~ “One on the Line: The Martha’s Vineyard Striped Bass and Bluefish Derby”

September 5, 2013 Leave a comment

On August 30 the Martha’s Vineyard Museum unveiled its newest gallery exhibit called, “One on the Line: The Martha’s Vineyard Striped Bass and Bluefish Derby”. The exhibit highlights the 67 year history of the annual Martha’s Vineyard Striped Bass and Bluefish Derby.

I am a fisher(wo)man. I love to fish, and look forward to the Derby every year. I register for it as soon as registration is available and even have a number reserved for me; so it’s easy to assume I was looking forward to the unveiling of the Derby exhibit last Friday. After leisurely strolling through the other exhibits I made my way through the crowd of fellow fishermen and women and was surprised with what I encountered. The first thing you’ll notice as you approach the exhibit are the large fish mounted on the walls; each one caught from previous Derby’s. As you look around you’ll see antique fishing gear, buttons and pins from Derby’s past, photos chronicling the history of the Derby, and much more. I highly recommend coming with a charged cell phone so you can hear oral stories about specific items or events from the Derby’s past.

I thoroughly enjoyed myself and suggest you take the time to go view the exhibit. Ticket prices are $7 for adults and $4 for kids. Visit monday through Saturday 10 – 5 or Sunday noon – 5pm. Located at 59 School Street in Edgartown, the MV Museum is 2 blocks from Historic Downtown Edgartown. The entrance is at the intersection of Cooke and School Streets with parking available off School Street.

Martha’s Vineyard, Home Of The Sharks

August 13, 2013 Leave a comment

Martha’s Vineyard is synonymous with Sharks. The most obvious of which is Jaws, then we have the annual Monster Shark Tournament; both of which brings hundreds of thousands of visitors to our island annually. But did you know that Martha’s Vineyard is also home to another species of shark? These Sharks spend 3 months on the island and spend most of their time on the baseball diamond. The Martha’s Vineyard Sharks is a baseball team compiled of some of the top collegiate players in the country, getting them ready for the MLB draft, and much more. There’s only two home games left of the season, but if you’re trying to get away from the crowds of the Agricultural Fair and Fireworks, come out for a game with your family.

The Sharks will be playing the Silver Knights from Nausha on Thursday the 15 at 7:00 pm and again on Friday the 16 at 4:00 pm at the Vineyard Baseball Park located at the Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School.
