Field Trip! On September 27th the class visited
the Big E Fair in West Springfield, Massachusetts. The Big E is a highlight of
fall in New England and draws thousands of visitors each year. The fair
features hundreds of vendors selling anything from motorcycle gear to pools to
furniture and everything in between! The fair is also known for its variety of
food vendors selling everything you can possibly imagine – and fried! Students
tried a lot of new foods including lobster rolls, lobster stew, corndogs, a
blooming onion, fried cheese on a stick, UConn’s official barbeque, and fried
oreos! Everyone was quite full at the end, and definitely enjoyed taking in the
sights and smells (for the most part) of the fair! The students visited the
State Houses (including Connecticut, of course) though the award winning
pumpkin section was probably the biggest hit! The winning pumpkin topped out at
1270 pounds!
We hope you enjoy the photos!
