The weather over the Labor Day weekend was mostly good. Rain from tropical storm Harvey held off until Saturday night and continued most of Sunday. If you went out to eat Saturday there were lines of people waiting to be seated at the popular restaurants. School opened for the fall term on Tuesday.
We will reach Labor Day on Monday and the unofficial end of the summer season. All municipal buildings and the post office will be closed.
The fair is but a memory as most all of the carnival units returned to the mainland by Wednesday and signs of fall are beginning to appear each day.
It is hard to believe the summer season is fast becoming history. The fair is in full swing. It seems everyone is entertaining house guests.
It sure has felt like summer. It’s warm and it is crowded everywhere. The activity at the Agricultural Hall is at a fever pitch preparing for the fair. Some college students have just begun to leave as many universities open for the fall semester in two weeks. Before the end of the month a significant amount of summer traffic and visitors will begin to head in the other direction as the summer season slowly begins winding down for another year.
The 156th annual Agricultural Fair begins the 17th of August and runs until Sunday evening. The theme of the fair this year is See Ewe.
The weather for July has been fantastic, with few rainstorms. We had at least three days with a temperature nearly 90 degrees, high humidity for a good part of the month and a lot of sun.
The weekend weather was great. The Saturday farmers markets have been fantastic and choked the town with lines of traffic.
The weekend weather was delightful and summerlike. The beaches have been packed each day, with the hot weather making this Island a true vacation paradise.
