Late summer on Martha's Vineyard is synonymous with the Agicultural Society's Livestock Show and Fair, a four-day celebration that features farm animals, carnival rides, competitions ranging from skillet-throwing to quiltmaking and plenty of good food and fun. Equally popular with kids and old-timers, this year's Ag Fair opens on Thursday, Aug. 20, 2015.
