This is a wonderful fair for the whole family. We had a great time, there is so much to see. One of the biggest fairs in Ct.
I went when I was a kid and just started going back in the past 3 years. So much has changed but for the good. Its grown into a Big E contender with less walking. The fair is awesome with way more rides and games then a carnival. The food variety is crazy. They have some of the best food at any fair I have ever went to. And I'm a Chef so I know my food. Lol
Keep the weather in mind when you go, especially in summer. A good portion of the fairgrounds are up hill. However, the staff do have cooling stations set up during particularly hot periods. Otherwise, there is PLENTY to see and do, and, all told, a great way to spend a day with the family!
I hear this is the largest Agricultural Fair in the state, and the size of the pumpkin entries seemed to prove that. They were HUGE !!! ( see photos I took. numbers on pumpkin is its weight in lbs.) Good food selection. I think that this fair is "Dry", a.k.a. NO alcohol served. I believe this is in attempt to make this fair more "family friendly" Saw a few monster trucks and the demolition derby the day I was there good times when it comes around in the late summer, early fall
First of all let me say I live in town of the fair. It's a fair and everyone goes to the fair for one reason or other. But this year I've noticed that there is a lot of places to eat then there ever was. The fair is now 4 days long. The best time to go is the first day and when the gates open. Later in the day there is wall to wall of people. The shows are very good at night. You just need to get to the show early enough to pick your spot to sit. There are plenty of places to sit and rest and the restrooms are very clean with changing tables for babies. There are a couple of hills you need to manage at this fair. No matter how you look at this you'll have a good time. Enjoy
