Obama Family Expected on Martha's Vineyard During Agricultural Fair in August

"They love the fair," one Dukes County official said Friday. President Barack Obama and his family skipped Martha's Vineyard in 2012, but it looks as if they will be back this August.

Nobody's speaking on the record yet, but it seems a foregone conclusion that we can expect to see the First Family on Martha's Vineyard during this year' Agricultural Society Livestock Show and Fair, scheduled for August 15 – 18 in West Tisbury.

The Obamas "love the fair," one Dukes County official said Friday afternoon.

It's still unknown where President Barack Obama, his wife Michelle and their daughters Sasha and Malia will be staying on their first summer vacation on the Island since 2011.
