Recreation, historically, has, and still does, play a special role in the village. Home Talent baseball has had a home in this community since the inception of the organization, back in the early 1930?s. Trout fishing along the world-famous Black Earth and Vermont Creeks has been an annual tradition since the 1890?s. During the 1870?s, the Wisconsin Valley Agricultural Society, an organization similar to the Grange, established a local fair. The host site alternated with the neighboring community of Mazomanie. By the turn of the twentieth century another local festival, Field Days, had already been established. With the exception of a brief period during World War II and the late 1950?s, this ongoing celebration has been an annual event.

More recently local businesses have established another annual festival, Duck Days. In addition to craft sales and a huge community garage sale, the main focus of the revelry is a race of plastic ducks down a section of the Black Earth Creek. Winners are recipients of a myriad of prizes donated by local businessmen. The money raised is used to help support community organizations.
