Wednesday of last week was a great day for the Vineyard.
Eleanor Neubert and Kathy Lobb, longtime managers of the Ag Fair, were honored at a weekend ceremony.
The 156th Martha’s Vineyard Agricultural Fair put West Tisbury at center stage. Neither pounding rain nor blistering sun could keep crowds away.
Friday’s deluge of rain turned the grassy parking lots around the fair into mud pits. But on Saturday the sun and heat returned along with lots of happy fairgoers.
Teams lined up for the draft horse pull at the Agricultural Fair Friday were undeterred by rain. In fact, wet weather kept the animals cool.
On opening day of the 156th annual Agricultural Fair, a small crowd gathered before the ticketers had arrived.
Four-days of fun are in store at the 156th Martha’s Vineyard Agricultural Society Livestock Show and Fair, which takes place from Thursday, August 17 to Sunday, August 20.
