On behalf of the First Congregational Church of West Tisbury, we extend our deep appreciation and heartfelt gratitude to our Island friends, seasonal visitors and tourists from all parts of the world. We also want to thank the following local businesses for their continued commitment to the success of our events: Morning Glory Farm, Mad Martha’s Ice Cream, Cash and Carry, Jardin Mahoney, Vineyard Gardens, Tilton tent rentals and Stop & Shop. You have lifted our spirits with your generous support of our summer fruit festivals in June, July and August. Our most recent peach festival broke all previous records with 1,215 attending, buying and enjoying all things peachy. We promise to have more pies next year.

The festivals could not happen without our dedicated event chairmen: Peggy Yoars (strawberry), Marilyn Jackson-Adams (blueberry) and Dinny Montrowl (peach). Hats off to you.

These annual fundraising activities help to provide ministry to others all year round, most especially the community suppers served on Wednesday evenings from January through April each year. Thank you one and all. We look forward to seeing you again next summer.
