C'mon New Englanders - is it worth it? I heard about it for the first time from the plumber yesterday and no one else has ever mentioned it to me ...

Big E

I've never been.......... but if you're from the heartland and need to get a whiff of home..... hehe

It's an agricultural fair... and lots of organic growing information so I know I'd enjoy it... will have to go sometime!

Let us know how you like it!

Delightful Rendezvous!

Is the love I gave her in the past, gonna be enough to last, if tomorrow never comes........

My parents have gone and loved it. But they're parents...and parents are weird. ha ha

My wife took our oldest son last year and she enjoyed walking through a lot of the exhibits. She was particularly interested in the way they set up a building to represent what each New England state has to offer. She found it very informative...and she's lived in CT 40 years. lmfao

One comment she made was that it wasn't cheap. But hey, with kids...nothing's cheap!

I, however, have never gone. It comes on the heels of our town's big fair and to be honest...I'm fair'd out.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

Because you ate $1,000 worth of fair food, mayhaps?

You make it sound bad when you say it like that. I prefer to call it "Assuring an even distribution of wealth by means of exploring my gastronomique options." :grin:

So who does go to this thing every year? Not a good showing so far ... 2 for 2 on never having attended!

I admit, I'm surprised at how late in the year it happens - I'd have expected a fair to be before the kids went back to school.

i went to the big e when i was in high school, and i thought it was redneck heaven.

So Maddy, did you go? Or are you going?

Let us know what you thought of it please.

I've run out of time - but I do plan to go next year. As a new resident I figure it's one of the things I must do once.
