Pictures From a Day at the Big E

Published on September 26, 2011 By Emily. Updated on September 26, 2011

In honor of my rapidly approaching birthday, Brian and I spent yesterday doing something that’s been on my list since we moved to western Massachusetts in 2009.  We finally went to The Big E, the largest fair in New England.  There were tons of people (over a million attended last year), but we had a great time looking at the animals, strolling the Avenue of States and eating greasy, delicious fair food.  Since you couldn’t come along, I thought I’d share some of my favorite scenes from the afternoon:

    It was an awesome experience. Next time we go I will not be sick and will enjoy it even more (and maybe it won’t feel like summer)

    The guy in the 4th picture is made of butter, isn’t he? Is he shearing a sheep?

      Yes, that’s a butter sculpture. Because everyone needs a butter sculpture, clearly.
