The Big E opens this weekend

Some rain was sandwiched between some great days, but that won't dampen (pun intended) the interest is this fair.  The typical rides, food, displays, including all those "shown on TV" must-haves, and of course, some farm animals, will be available to the guests.  Lynyrd Skynyrd is on tap for next weekend, but ZZ Top canceled.  Fried food is plentiful, too.

We did an economic impact study some fifteen years ago, and after attending the fair daily for 2 weeks during 1999, I have not returned.  Filled my appetite I guess.
