小羊日
地方性遗产
猜猜看，为什么照片中的这些小孩，要打扮成小羊的样子？
他们正要参加犹他州的喷泉绿(Fountain
Green)所举办的小羊日游行。自古以来，绵羊放牧就一直是喷泉绿居民赖以维生的方式。首届小羊日在1932年举行，自此以后，镇民每年都会举办小羊日，藉以表彰当地的绵羊放牧社群。绵羊在喷泉绿的经济上，扮演了一个相当重要的角色；该镇在1880年到1920年间，是世上的主要羊制品生产地。
小羊日当天会举行小羊展及拍卖、游行、才艺表演、舞蹈、游戏及竞赛，竞赛项目包括一个长一英里的「逃跑羊」(Lamb
Scram)赛跑，及一个长三英里的「羊毛街之行」(Wool
Street Journey)；这个节日的高潮是，由一个有100年历史的特殊沙岩窑，烘烤12个小时而成的羊肉大餐。
Can you guess why the kids in the photo are dressed as lambs?
They are participating in the Lamb Day parade in Fountain Green, Utah. Sheep herding has historically been a popular way to earn a living in Fountain Green. The town's people celebrate the local sheep-herding community every year with a Lamb Day festival, which first started in 1932. Sheep played a big part in the economy of Fountain Green from the 1880s to the 1920s with the town playing a leading role in lamb production worldwide.
Lamb Day features a lamb show and auction, a parade, a talent show, a dance, games, and contests, including a one-mile race called the "Lamb Scram" and a three-mile race called the "Wool Street Journey." The festival highlight is the meal of lamb roasted for 12 hours in special sandstone-lined pits first used 100 years ago.
