anyone else going this year? We are supposed to go today, but it looks like it's gonna be a washout. We pick up the van in an hour and I'd hate to waste the money if the rain isn't gonna let up.
Hmmmm what to do? :umbrella: :confused3
 
If you do end up going today, if you walk around the 4H exhibits, and see a girl with an exhibit on building a fish pond, that's my niece Catie! She is having some kind of fishing game at her booth. Tell her that Auntie Karen says hello :)

I love the Big E!!!! Can't wait I'm going Thursday. Hope the weather's nice.:jumping1:
 
This will be the 8th fall that I've been living up here in Massachusetts and I still haven't made it to the Big E. No one else is my family wants to go!! :( When my sister and her family used to live in CT they went every year and loved it.
 

Can someone tell me what the Big E is like. Is it like the Topsfield Fair? Is it all animals. Does each state have an area? Is it all farm animals(if it is I am not going)
 
was born and raised and lived most of my life in MA..and attended every year..figures..I move, get married, and they have Clay Aiken there..lol!...here where I live in MD..they have the Alleghany County Fair...lol..what a joke..it's nothing but a livestock show!...about 50x smaller than the Big E..planning a visit back home next year at that time and plan to attend..all of you who go..stop and have a baked potato for me at the Maine bldg..and anyone who sees Clay..say HI!

WE LOVE THE BIG E!!!!!!! All the different things to see. We are not into all they have to offer but we look at it anyway. My dd's and I love the animals. My dh loves the Maine baked potatoes and eating his way thru the rest of the state buildings. We do end up doing the ride w/the dd's but it is no MK. The kids seem to enjoy them though. I always end up buying some gadgetthat worked fine for the demonstrator but the minute I get it in my hot little hands it becomes yet another useless tool. Oh well, you would think I would learn by now. We also enjoy watching the baby chicks hatch. Amazing the determination that they have. I bet if they could they would be Diser's too. :laughing:

:wave: :wave2: princess: princess:
 
I haven't been to Big E in forever. They used to have some great exhibits but the crowds scare me to death. Can you believe I went to Disney at Christmas? :confused:
 
I live 10 minutes from the Big E and my next door neighbor is the public relations director there- free tickets- but we hate it! Nothing ever changes. All the low lifes come out of the woodwork!

You aren't kidding. I used to go every year when the kids were little just to look at the animals. Then I cut back to every other year and I skipped last year. Maybe I will go this year. I know when I get there however, I will say, why did I bother; NOTHING CHANGES!
 
We went last year for the first time... my friends are "pokers", meaning, they look at EVERYTHING!, whereas, we are skimmers, we'd go around the large crowds and usually ended up waiting for them at the doorway. It was fun, but next time we go, we'll just meet our friends at the end of the day.

We did pick up a few things, but noticed that the vendors are the same in each building. And yes, I also noticed that all sorts of mankind are there, very interesting... I like to people watch, some are absolutley amazing!!!
