Franklin County Field Days are a tried-and-true Vermont tradition — one that dates back 43 years. True to form, this year’s schedule covers all the agricultural and entertainment bases. Hungry revelers can start three of the four days with full bellies, thanks to hearty breakfast offerings in the 4-H booth. Then fairgoers enjoy agrarian attractions such as oxen pulling, a draft-horse show and a parade of antique tractors. High-octane happenings such as the demolition derby and minivan mashup get motors running. The kid-friendly Rockin’ Ron the Friendly Pirate and country crooner Keeghan Nolan are among the musical acts on the Main Stage. Midway rides, games and fair food round out the revelry.
