Take the Turkey Plunge on Thanksgiving Day at 10 am at Children’s Beach, to benefit the Nantucket Atheneum. The current forecast, which can change of course, is overcast, 49 degrees, wind east at about 15, with a 50% chance of light showers. Not too bad.

Before you head to town for the Plunge, tune into Mindy Todd’s show ‘The Point’ on WNAN 91.1 to hear Don DeMarco talk about his book ‘Nantucket Taste Memories: The DeMarco Restaurant Cookbook’.

I’ll have the weekend highlights in the next edition. Or go to the N Magazine/Mahon About Town Arts & Social Calendar for additional listings.

The “Once in a Blue Moon,” Harvest Bash annual fall dinner and auction took place this past Saturday night, November 17, hosted by the Nantucket New School.
