The Buttonwood Harbour Association welcomed back its snowbirds over the weekend.

On Nov. 19, residents gathered for a "Burgers, Breasts, & Bluegrass" block party that featured bluegrass music performances by Carolyn and Ron Wedekind, Howie Banfield and Steve Vermillion.

While the music played in the background, neighbors reunited after their summers away. They munched on burgers, hot dogs, chicken and side dishes.
