I’m only a few days late with this post. 🙂
Last Saturday, we took a trip out to Springfield, MA and spent the day at the Big E! If you don’t know what the Big E is, it’s the Eastern States Exposition. A huge fair/carnival/etc that runs for 2 full weeks (3 weekends) every Setember.
This was my first time at the Big E and I was shocked as to how big it really was. We spent a good 9 hours there and missed so much stuff!
We started and ended our day at my favorite part of the fair – The State Buildings. Each New England state has their own building where they sell different foods and souveniers local to their state.
We started with cider donuts and hot apple cider from Vermont!
It was very fun to see what was inside of each state building, Vermont was by far the best with their apple cider, maple cotton candy, flatbread pizza, soaps, Ben & Jerry’s and t-shirts! But, other’s had fun things to offer too.

This was my first time trying golden raspberries and they were delicious!
We took a detour from the State Buildings and toured the rest of the grounds…and stopped at the giant slide! I watched while my husband and friends took a ride.
We hunted for the giant butter sculpture!
And, found some piglets!
A giant pumpkin.
A talking veggie show. 🙂
(We also spent a lot of time watching the Vita-Mix demonstration which was awesome!)
Then, it was back to the State Buildings for dinner.

And, another slice of Vermont’s flatbread pizza!
It was such a fun day! Can’t wait until next year. 🙂
