Misty Meadows Equine Learning Center has placed a âgiving barnâ along Old County Road near the mouth of Scotchmanâs Bridge Lane. The âbarnâ â a decorated wooden sign â was authorized by West Tisbury selectmen on Dec. 9. The barn sign is meant to help solicit donations to a cover a budgetary shortfall at Misty Meadows, brought on by the pandemic.Â
âWeâre getting a lot of positive feedback,â Misty Meadows executive director Sarah McKay said of the signage. McKay said Misty Meadows is advancing toward its goal of $50,000. As of Monday, she said $34,000 had been collected. McKay said the campaign was originally set to close at the end of the year but now it will continue until the end of January.Â
