WHAT? GOATS ON THE ROOF?

It happened a long time ago, due to a good friend of Al Johnson.  His name is Harold Larson, best known in the area as Winkie.  Winkie and Al were pranksters, and would surprise each other on their birthdays with various animal gifts.  It was a pig, a raccoon, then one day, it was a goat.  Using a ladder, Winkie got a goat up to the grass roof of Al Johnson’s restaurant.  From that day forward, Al Johnson’s became known for that place with the goats on the roof.  We can thank Winkie for the goats on the roof. 

Since 1973, live goats graze on the roof from June throughout the summer.  You won’t see them in the rain or the wind, only in good weather.  They are housed at the Johnson farm a few miles from the restaurant.  Each morning four to five goats make their way to the restaurant via the Johnson truck.  The other goats get to decide if they are in the mood for an appearance.  If they are up to it, they will proceed to the truck and join the others.    

Each year for the last 9 years, Sister Bay celebrates the roofing of the goats with a special parade.  This year, it is scheduled for Saturday, June 10.  The annual Roofing of the Goats Parade starts at 11:00 a.m. at the corner of Mill Road and Highway 42.  It moves south to Al Johnson’s Swedish Restaurant, where the goats will be led up to the restaurant’s green sod roof.  It’s a fun time for everyone!

Don’t miss out on the fun.  If you are looking for a place to stay, we have rooms available!
