The Big E: Eastern States Exposition by David Cecchi (English) Paperback Book

Description: The Big E: Eastern States Exposition by David Cecchi Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The Eastern States Agricultural and Industrial Exposition was founded more than a century ago to "promote the agricultural and industrial development of the eastern states." Held at the fairgrounds in West Springfield, Massachusetts, the inaugural event was the National Dairy Show in 1916, followed by what would become known as "The Big E," the combined "state fair" of the six New England states: Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Weathering floods, hurricanes, the Great Depression, and two world wars, it is currently one of the largest fairs in North America, with an attendance of over 1.3 million fairgoers in 2015. With photographs spanning the past century from exposition archives, area residents, and his own collection, author David Cecchi presents a fascinating visual history of what he refers to as "the fair." Author Biography Author David Cecchi developed a love for his hometown growing up on one of the last remaining farms in Feeding Hills. He lives in Agawam Center and enjoys what is perhaps Agawams oldest surviving (1957) inground pool with his wife and sons, Joseph and J. Bailey, named for Joel J. Bailey, who in the 1800s owned the land Cecchis family now farms. Cecchi currently serves as chairman of the Agawam Historical Commission and is a board member of the Agawam Historical Association and the 1805 Captain Charles Leonard House.
