Two Must-Attend Nantucket Community Events

I tend to go on and on about community and the importance of keeping it strong. For me, it’s the crux of the matter here on Nantucket. Without a strong community, we an be rudderless and alone on an island that can often seem to care more about dollars than people.

One of the great ways to shore up and maintain the community is to participate in community events. One such event is this coming weekend when the Shingles play at the Chicken Box for an all-ages show, Saturday the 26th from 4 to 6 pm. I was at the last Shingles show at the box and it was very well attended. It was nice to see kids running around the Chicken Box. “Got to start those kids out at the Box early,” one patron was heard to say.



The following weekend is the Nantucket Spelling Bee, which will take place on Saturday the 2nd with food served at 5:00 and the Bee starting at six. It’s a lot of fun, and it’s a chance to see your neighbors and be a part of the community.
