The
Big E - Family Entertainment, Romance, Fun - There Is Life North
of New York

New
York --- September 25, 2011 .... As an Israel American who has
been living in Israel for over 24 years, coming to the Big E in
Massachusetts was a real eye opener. If one was ever seeking a
true and sweet taste of America - this is it.
Americana
in New England has never been more vibrant and alive. Thousands
visit The Big E on
a daily basis with organizers expecting more than a million people
this year. And I'm sure that the tasty, smoked Turkey legs, foot
long corn dogs and chocolate creampuffs are not the biggest attractions.
Visitors can
take advantage of hundreds of vendors, a wide variety of shopping
and live entertainment. This includes the Big E Super Circus with
Alexandras Net Trapeze and super star clown Bello Nock.
By far, one of the finest and most exciting circuses you will
ever enjoy. And you will not want to miss the horse shows, the
roller coaster, exhibits by the US Army and Navy and most importantly
the Avenue of States, where Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont,
Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Maine show off their best products
and services.
Located
in West Springfield, Massachusetts, on 175 acres, Eastern States
Exposition is home to more than 100 shows and events including
The Big E, the largest fair in the Northeast, as well as Storrowton
Village Museum and Storrowton Tavern, which are open year-round.
Eastern
States Exposition was founded in 1916 and is a not-for-profit
agricultural, educational institution.

"Since
1990, I have watched The Big E grow structurally and in the numbers
of guests who visit Eastern States Exposition both during the
Fair and all year long at our more than 100 consumer, trade and
agricultural events," says Catherine Pappas, Communications
Manager of the Eastern States Exposition.
"The
opportunity to be part of something so exciting has been great.
The variety and uniqueness in my daily job keeps things interesting
and I look forward to every day, whether it's making things happen
for whatever the media needs or dealing with a myriad of questions
or issues."
And
Catherine is there about 12 hours a day, seven days a week. From
being on her computer in the office to visiting the elephants
and trapeze artists at the circuses, she keeps an eagle's eye
in helping to maintain a quality environment for both the tourists
and workers.

"I certainly see the Big E Exposition continuing to grow
and there will be a big focus on our 100th anniversary in 2016,"
says Wayne McCary, president and CEO of the Eastern States Exposition.
"The future will bring more technology and more exhibits
and vendors from other countries as the global economy continues
to grow. The Big E is viable and real. People still want to get
out and have real life experiences - coming eye to eye with agriculture
and livestock."
"From
1916 when the Exposition represented a dream to bring national
livestock shows here from Chicago. We've risen from those humble
origins to a 6-state Exposition and we are the only fair in the
nation where more than one state participates. My favorite result
of all the work we do to present The Big E is seeing the smiles
on people's faces. We are in the business of creating memories
and the ones we create usually last a lifetime."

All that the
Big E is missing are some camels, Israel fruit, solar panels,
award winning wine and the latest computer, Internet technology
from Israel. Wayne - let us know if you want to add these attractions
for next year. It would be nice to see corn dogs and turkey legs
sitting next to houmous and falafel!
