Wednesday of last week was a great day for the Vineyard.
The Martha’s Vineyard Agricultural Society’s 154th annual fair began Thursday morning under sunny skies.
With the 154th annual Martha’s Vineyard Agricultural Society Livestock Show and Fair less than a week away, farmers across the Island are preparing goats and alpacas, tomatoes and berries to compete for blue ribbons.
The Agricultural Fair is fast approaching, and any birds being shown in the fair need to be tested for pullorum.
Fair excitement begins with the annual unveiling of the Martha’s Vineyard Agricultural Society Livestock Show and Fair poster.
There are three Jacob sheep across from me, big, gray and alert with curling horns.
The 153rd Agricultural Fair was one for the books. “Everywhere you looked, there was a good crowd,” said fair manager Eleanor Neubert.
