The Tisbury Firefighters Association invites everyone to its annual Car Show, open this Saturday, July 23, from 4 to 8 p.m. at the RM Packer lot and docks on Beach Road in Vineyard Haven.

The show includes more than 50 cars — from classic, custom, antiques and hot rods — and this year includes custom motorcycles. Most of the cars are Island-owned and operated.

Firemen’s Car Show

The fourth annual Tisbury volunteer fire department car show will be held on July 24 at Boch Park, directly across from the Xtra Mart on Beach Road in Vineyard Haven.

The fun begins at 4 p.m. with a variety of special interest cars — and for the first time this year motorcycles — followed by live music and a pig roast. No alcohol will be allowed at this family-friendly event.

Edgartown is in the swim with other resorts. The horseless carriage is here. The first to appear is the locomobile of Mr. Elmer J. Bliss, of the Regal Shoe, who brought this vehicle down from Boston Saturday night. Mr. Bliss had his locomobile out on Sunday, and it worked very satisfactorily on our streets.
