The Premiere date is here!
Check out this fantastic documentary premiering at our town hall on September 11th 6-7:30 pm! Doors at 5:30.

This crew spoke to so many people on the island, old timers and new residents, tourists and regular visitors, retirees and full time island workers! They were very detailed in their coverage, getting photographs, facts, and figures from us over the last year.
