Our "Dozer Yellow" Jeep, in the middle, is parked in front of our motorhome.

One of our neighbors is

Lady Liberty.

Maps of the Big E are
very helpful for
navigating this venue.

The village green in Storrowton,
the recreated 18th century
historic village at The Big E.

There's a Circus Museum

on the property.

The West Springfield
Fire House has a display
of local fire fighting
memorabilia.

The Brooks Building is named for

 Joshua Brooks, the founder of

 the Eastern States Exposition.

The Coliseum is the oldest

building at The Big E.

RVs ring many of the large buildings at the Big E.  The buildings are sources of electricity for visiting RVs.

I love this wood carving of

 a guitar on the lawn in

 front of the Coliseum.

This would be a great landmark to meet at on this large property.

Many RVs at The Big E

are powered by industrial

generators.  

RoadTrek RVs are boondocking

in one of the many parking lots

at The Big E.

 Look at the driver's side door.  The window shade has an opening for occupants

Campers Inn:  One of the
many RV Dealerships
selling RVs at The Big E.

Aqua-Kem's display in front

 of the Mallory Complex.

Seminars are easy
to find.

Flag Plaza, just off Memorial

Avenue, is an easy to find

meet up spot.

This Unihome by Foretravel
gets a lot of attention
wherever it goes.

I bet the Wine & Cheese

Bar  is very popular.

The Food Court welcomes
hungry visitors.

RVs are parked everywhere,

including the Midway.

Barn C & Captain Nemo's
Seafood

Barn C is clean & ready for

livestock.

There are numerous barns and arenas here.  The Eastern States Exposition is proud to promote regional agriculture.  

The Big EZ Cafe is open for
breakfast, lunch & dinner.

Paul Evert's drove their motorhomes

south from Escapade to the FMCA

 National Convention at the Big E.

The RV Dealers will be busy...  I've been told that there are over 1,100 motorhomes here for the Family Motor Coach Association Convention.  Someone's always moving up to a larger motorhome or downsizing.

The New England Grange

Building

The Big E's agricultural 

roots are everywhere.

There's a lot more to see here....  More posts to come.
