If this link works The Big E - Ask.com Encyclopedia it's the wiki site and gives you all the information on the Big E. It is the biggest of the fairs for the New England area and covers all six of the NE States. I only know it from my granddaughter's perspective of showing a dog, but it is THE ULTIMATE State fair for the NE area and is the 6th largest in the nation. You need to book a hotel room months in advance if you intend to go, it is a two or three day fair.
