Traditionally held the third weekend of August, the Vermont State Zucchini Festival is a one-of-a-kind New England event you have to see to believe.

Now YOU can say you've seen a zucchini flying through the air. That is, if you squint and look carefully in the upper left-hand corner of this photo. Take it from me: It's not easy to photograph flying zucchinis. Want to guess how far this one flew?
