The Big E in West Springfield, Massachusetts is the largest fair in the Northeastern United States. Lasting a whopping 17 days, the Big E features top name entertainers, exhibits from around the country, agriculture, animals, rides, shopping, shopping, shopping, The Big E Super Circus, Avenue of the States, crafts, daily parades, a Mardi Gras parade and food, food, food!

But before any of those things can happen and before the crowds arrive, there’s A LOT of work to do. It takes months of planning and hours and hours of setting up to go from this:

So if you live within driving distance of West Springfield, Massachusetts, The Big E is a great day trip. And while you’re there stop by and see us – we have two booths* filled with flags, mailbox covers, Yard DeSigns, and all sorts of outdoor decorative products that we sell only at the Big E.

And if you don’t live close enough to drive to the Big E, you can follow it here = we’ll be posting several times a week from The Big E so you’ll almost feel like you’re there.

And don’t forget about the Flag Fables Outdoor Design Contest! Send me digital photographs of your best outdoor settings and you could win a $250 Flag Fables Gift Certificate.

Happy Fall!

*Our outside booth is located on Springfield Road, between the Big Slide and Gate 9A, outside Entrance 6 of the Better Living Center. (Here’s a map of the Big E grounds.)

And for the third year in a row, we will also be in the Better Living Center itself but in a different spot with a bigger and better booth along the wall between Entrances 4 & 5.
