Ah, the sweet smell of farm animals on a mid-July day. Now that’s what summer in Vermont is all about! Lamoille County Field Days brings three days of old-fashioned, family-friendly fun to Johnson. Attendees lift pinkies in Aunt Jane’s Tea Party Tent, or go the opposite route and get rowdy on the sidelines of an ox pull. Enjoy thrills but not gargantuan mammals? Smaller critters take center stage at adorable events such as "Wee Wee Wee" pig races and sheepdog demos. Tantalizing fair food abounds, but nothing hits the spot quite like a pie-eating contest. (Pro tip: Hit the midway rides before you enter.)
