Illumination Night. The Agricultural Fair. The Oak Bluffs Fireworks. Oh, and President Obama and First Family are here. It truly was the peak of summer this week on the Vineyard. But there still is one week left of August and time to get in those lactivities that you might have missed. Parasailing anyone? Or what about that fresh water swim in Seth's Pond? Time to prioritize and finish the summer off the right way.
