When are this year's fair and field-days in Vermont: Plan summer 2025's fun in the sun
Summer is also the season for visiting cute farm animals, eating lots of food that's good for the taste buds but a disaster for the waistline, and then making yourself nauseous by going on too many post-pig-out rides.
In other words, summer is also fair and field-days season. These events take place in Vermont over the next couple of months, which, not coincidentally, is about how much time we've got left this summer. Whether it's in your 'hood or all the way across the state, there might just be something here to entice you to go out and celebrate all that small-town Vermont has to offer.

Dakota Johnson's Complete Dating History
THE RUNDOWN Dakota Johnson has been in the spotlight pretty much since birth, as the daughter of Hollywood stars Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson. But her career really exploded when she was cast opposite Jamie Dornan in the Fifty Shades of Grey series. Since then, Johnson has starred in action films, comedies, and more romances, including her most recent role in The Materialists as a matchmaker. With her success came more interest in her personal life. Johnson has dated a few noted celebrities over the years, with one of her longest relationships ending just this year. Here's Johnson's complete dating history do far. Dakota Johnson and Jordan Masterson started dating around 2012. In March 2014, she told ELLE that Masterson did some home renovation for her as a Christmas present. 'He gave me double sinks!' she shared. 'He did it himself. I think double sinks are the key to any relationship.' Masterson is part of a family of actors, including The Walking Dead's Alanna Masterson and Danny Masterson, and they are deeply involved in the Church of Scientology. In 2013, the Daily Mail reported that Masterson was uncomfortable with Johnson's fame associated with the 50 Shades franchise, as well as some of the explicit scenes in the movie, and had encouraged her to get involved with Scientology. There are no other reports on why they may have split. In July 2014, it was rumored the actress was seeing model and musician Matthew Hitt. Things were a bit off-and-on for the couple, and they seemingly split in December of that year. In April 2015, E! reported they were back together after they were seen in Los Angeles. In June 2016, E! News confirmed they had split up again, this time for good. 'Dakota and Matthew have dated on-and-off for the past two years,' said a source. 'They didn't get a chance to see much of each other recently because their work schedules didn't align. She's been up in Vancouver shooting the Fifty Shades trilogy.' Johnson was first linked to Coldplay's Chris Martin in October 2017. They were spotted grabbing dinner at Sushi Park in Los Angeles. According to a People onlooker, the pair appeared 'cozy, laughing and affectionate.' In December, sources confirmed the relationship to Us Weekly, saying, 'Dakota and Chris are definitely dating. They've gotten to know each other really well and are very comfortable from one another. Chris sends Dakota his music to get her opinion. It's more than just a fling.' The couple kept their relationship very private over the next eight years, never walking red carpets together and with very few public appearances side-by-side, though he did join her at events occasionally. In 2020, Martin's ex-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, talked about her friendly relationship with Johnson in a cover story interview with Harper's Bazaar. 'I love her,' Paltrow said. 'I can see how it would seem weird because it's sort of unconventional. But I think, in this case, just having passed through it iteratively, I just adore her. I always start to think of the ampersand sign—what else can you bring in, instead of being resistant to or being made insecure by? There's so much juice in leaning in to something like that.' In March 2024, Johnson shared rare details about her relationship with Martin and his children in a Bustle interview. She called his son and daughter with Paltrow her stepchildren. 'I love those kids like my life depends on it. With all my heart,' she said. As for Martin, she said that she loves watching him perform: 'I love watching him,' she said. 'I could watch him every day. I don't know how to explain it. I feel like, I don't know... I'm watching my most favorite being do his most favorite thing.' She added, 'When people are really good at things, it is [sexy.]' A few days later, a source told People that Johnson and Martin had been engaged for some time. '[They] got engaged years ago but were in no rush to get married,' a source close to the couple said. Rumors of their relationship being on the rocks circulated in August 2024. On August 16, a source claimed to Daily Mail that Johnson and Martin had broken up. 'Chris and Dakota have tried desperately hard over the past few months to make their relationship work,' the source alleged. 'They'll always have love for each other but they've both come to the conclusion the relationship cannot be sustained long-term. They're both busy people, Chris has been in Europe with Coldplay and they both have personal priorities, passions and work commitments which don't naturally intertwine with each other. They wanted it to work but it just hasn't, and they've now accepted it is best to move on.' A rep for the couple denied the statement, saying rumors that they had broken up are 'not true,' per E!. 'They are happily together.' In June 2015, multiple sources told People that Martin and Johnson had fully broken up after reports of their relationship still being off-and-on. An insider said that 'it feels final this time.' The sources described their relationship as being 'on-off' during its eight-year run.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Were Photographed Watching Son Archie's Surf Lesson
THE RUNDOWN Meghan Markle and Prince Harry took Archie for a surf lesson. The Duke of Sussex surfs himself. The couple were seen chatting with friends on the beach in chic casual wear. On Friday, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were photographed making the most of summer at Santa Claus Beach in Carpinteria, watching their six-year-old son Archie as he enjoyed a surf lesson. In pictures shared by TMZ, the couple is on the beach chatting with friends as Archie hits the waves. Meghan is wearing cut off jean shorts and a white button-down shirt with a wide-brimmed straw hat and sunglasses. Harry is wearing black shorts and a matching top with a cream baseball cap and aviators. Harry has also shown an interest in surfing, with footage posted of the Duke of Sussex riding waves in 2024 by instructor Raimana Van Bastolaer. The couple seems to have truly embraced California living. They first moved to Montecito in 2020, after stepping down as working members of the royal family. Since then, Harry has been struggling with how to stay in touch with his family in the U.K., since his father, King Charles, will not reinstate automatic security for his family. They lost their appeal on the matter in April of this year. In June, source told People that the couple has different perspectives on how to move forward with Charles and Harry's brother, Prince William. 'They're aware of everything going on in England, but they're being left out of the details—there's clearly no trust,' said the insider, adding that Meghan is 'focused on the future,' and 'is very business about it.' The Duchess of Sussex 'wishes her husband could feel less burdened by the past and more present in the life they've built together.' Charles has been receiving treatments for cancer, and Harry has struggled to remain in the loop about how his father is doing. 'It's been difficult for him to even get proper updates about his dad,' the source explained.
