On Sunday afternoon, the grounds of the Tisbury School attracted more than 200 students, parents, and neighbors to the 7th annual Harvest Festival, hosted by the Parent Teacher Organization.

The fun and festivities were free of charge, a way to celebrate the season and thank the community for its support. Donations came from Stop & Shop and Island Pony Rides, while music was provided by Paul Thurlow, Nancy Jephcote, Mark  Hahn, and Sam Graber-Hahn.

When attendees weren't sampling the potluck smorgasbord, they busied themselves painting pumpkins, taking pony and hay rides, competing in sack races, and several other delightful, non-educational activities.
