The annual “Barn Raisers Ball,” held on the first Saturday of every November for the past 31 years, was the center of the Island community this past weekend with a shoulder-to-shoulder crowd. As is customary, there were potluck deserts and the local blues group: Johnny Hoy and the Bluefish. The ball was held at the Agricultural Hall in West Tisbury, where Islanders of all ages danced to familiar tunes, drank cider, and taste-tested dozens of desserts that were on display in the front hall.
