Chilmark is so quiet! Some of us are enjoying the silence . . . along with the beautiful harvest moon and the cleansing high tides that go with that moon.
There is a lot that is newsworthy and most of it starts at town hall. On Oct. 18 at the selectmen’s meeting they will review the findings of the legal advisors as to what our options are in dealing with the Tea Lane Farm. The public is welcome to all selectmen’s meetings. The meeting will start at 7:30 p.m. at town hall.
Chilmark is a busy place. Everyone I meet is in a hurry to be somewhere else. There are so many things to do that the vacation part of a vacation is getting lost! Just in case you aren’t totally booked for the coming week, I will include some announcements and program listings for you!
Chilmark is still prepping for the full rush of summer. Schools closed this week and now folks will be arriving for the full experience of a Chilmark summer. Are you ready?
Chilmark is missing Danny Bryant. For so long he was a frequently met neighbor of many of us and we are saddened by his unfortunate fall and death. He was larger than life in so many ways. He loved all that the Vineyard offered in its natural state. He was loved by dogs, feared by deer and much loved and appreciated by most of us. He was a total outdoorsman and could entertain with tales of his adventures for hours. We offer condolences to his many friends and his family. We will miss him greatly.
The holiday weekend swept through Chilmark as it always does, with lots of chores still to do and the first wave of visitors here hoping for fun in the sun. The weather tried to please everyone but there was a lot of fog on occasion. Everyone seemed happy to be here and that is what makes it a holiday weekend. The parades and speeches helped to focus on the meaning of the weekend and that was good.
