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 Alexandra’s 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!
