Wednesday of last week was a great day for the Vineyard.
Kate Wignall designed her winning Martha’s Vineyard Agricultural Fair poster based on the town signs on the Vineyard. She modeled the energetic sheep on her dog Piper.
A family of four was first in line at the entrance booth Thursday morning, waiting to buy their tickets for the first day of the Martha’s Vineyard Agricultural Society’s 155th Agricultural fair.
The fair posters around the Island mean it is time for cotton candy, blue ribbons and racing pigs. The 155th Martha’s Vineyard Agricultural Society Livestock Show and Fair opens Thursday and runs through Sunday, August 21.
From August 18 to 21, the grounds of the Agricultural Society Hall in West Tisbury will open for the 155th Annual Agricultural Fair.
West Tisbury resident Paul Karasik’s depiction of a hen sitting on her nest will grace the 2016 Agricultural Fair poster.
For four days the Agricultural Fair lured Islanders and visitors from the beaches and golf courses to West Tisbury for livestock shows, tractor pulls, rides, games and food galore.
