Alex Friedman interviewed former Boston Bruin Cam Neely on a special Memorial Day edition of the MorningNoon&Night show.

These familiar words were heard past this weekend as we kicked off the summer season down at the Black Dog beach. Live shows Saturday, Sunday and a bonus Monday show featured some great guests, including hockey legend Cam Neely.

This Week on the Vineyard wraps up the season with a show from Lamberts Cove Inn with guests from the Inn, the hospital and the filmmaker and actors from Mow Crew, a movie that starts production on the island this weekend. The two stars will perform original music from the movie.

All these shows will play in rotation throughout the week. Next weekend we'll be back on the beach with author Tom Dresser and many others. Drop by the set any Saturday or Sunday through Labor Day. We're just a few steps from the ferry. Happy Summer!

Susan Gibbs with Bay Leaf making his television debut.

From Thimble Farm Tina and Guinevere hosted a veritable variety show. For starters, Tina sat down with Andrew Woodruff and Alice Early of Whipporwhill Farm, now located at Thimble Farm, who talked about the change of venue and their Community Supported Agriculture coop program.

Next up, Andrea Quigley and Pat Begley from Family Planning talked about their upcoming big fundraiser, the annual Memorial Day Art Show.
They brought along an interesting example from among the thousands of
artist offerings - gorgeous flowers crafted from condoms by Keren Tonnesen. 

In the Adorable Animal block this week, Susan Gibbs showed off the newest arrival from her Vineyard Fiber Farm
- one week old baby goat Bay Leaf. Susan filled Guinevere in on her
yarn CSA which was recently featured on the front page of the Wall
Street Journal and has been attracting a lot of attention nationwide. 

We closed the show with a musical performance by Bella and Dan Waters, who sang a samba song in Portuguese and English. 

Next week we debut the MorningNoonandNight show for the season from the Black Dog Beach. We'll be live Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Summer's here already!

On a rainy day, John and Guinevere got cozy inside the barn with the
fuzzy flock at Island Alpaca. Owner Barbara Ronchetti and a somewhat
shy little fellow named Cocoa Puff were our first guests.

Next Ocean Park Realty's Alan Schweikert filled
John Clese in on the state of the Vineyard market. Then, students from
the Edgartown School talked about their drive to get laptop computers
for every student.

John and Guinevere gave a recap of the hotly contested beer and wine
ballot and we showed some footage from the much anticipated recount.

Next week we'll be at the Whipporwhill Farm with Susan Gibbs of the MV Fiber Farm and others. See you there!

Paul Mahoney launched his new feature "Ask Paul a Gardening Question"

We celebrated spring and Earth Day with a show from Jardin Mahoney, where all the colors of the season were bursting forth. Paul Mahoney launched our new feature - Ask Paul -
where he answers viewer submitted questions. And it seems that people
are preparing their grounds for the upcoming summer. Paul talked about
eliminating moss and pruning hydrangeas, among other things.

Next Ocean Park Realty's Alan Schweikert filled John Clese in on the state of the Vineyard market. Guinevere sat down with the National MS Society's Liz Strawn who talked about the upcoming benefit Bike Ride, which last year raised $500,000 for the NMSS!

We showed a piece from the island-wide Earth Day Beach Clean-up with Jane Loutzenheiser interviewing the organizers and other folks who pitched in last Saturday to keep our island beautiful.

Next week we'll be at the new Sharky's in Edgartown with Susan Gibbs of the MV Fiber Farm and others. See you there!
