If you’re like us and you’ve never experienced the Big E, this is the year to go for it. To quote from the Eastern States Exposition website: “Begun with the dream of keeping business, industry and agriculture alive and thriving in New England, Eastern States Exposition has more than fulfilled the initial hopes of its creators. It remains a site for celebration, a central showplace for the creative, industrial and agricultural resources of the Northeast and a reflection of the best of the region’s people.”

We like to think we fall into that last category. Whether you’re a first-timer like us, or a veteran to The Big E, be sure to come see us at the Rhode Island building for all things Ocean State like clam cakes and chowder, Del’s Lemonade, and Brown/Corliss books.
