I made the trek up to the Big E one Wednesday night. I had only been there once before - sometime in middle school or high school. My dad was charged with bringing his three daughters for the day. It was the last thing he wanted to do and he was in a most foul mood. I remember seeing the butter sculpture, eating a hot dog (which Dad absolutely didn't want to buy) and going home - fun day!
So I just wasn't sure what to expect. I did a little online research - knew I needed to try the Big E cream puff - after that I had no clue. I expected it to be more agriculturally based - farm animals etc.. I was so surprised to see people walking back to their cars with bags full of things they had bought - the guy selling mops was making a killing!! Over all I found the experience overwhelming. So much food that I didn't know what to pick, people everywhere of all sizes and ages, lights and games galore. Glad I went - incredible people watching and what a place to get lost in the crowd!
The Cream Puff - it was huge and delicious!

It was Agawam day - orange shirts filled the park. This was during the Agawam Parade.

A corner of the park looking back towards the rides.

Some of the amazing amounts of candies and goodies - seriously the place must run on sugar!



Going up I knew I wanted to try and play with some of the lights at night - here is some of what I saw.





And then this caught my eye and all I could think is - how unappealing! Am I wrong?
