NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — What should you do for your first trip to the Big E?
Dozens of suggestions came in after Reddit user lillybells13 asked for advice Tuesday in the Connecticut subreddit. The consensus: It’s all about the food.
Other suggestions included trying chocolate-covered bacon, wine tasting and wearing comfortable shoes. And, of course, the debate over which state has the best potato!
The massive fair, located in West Springfield, Massachusetts, is set to end Sunday. Tickets can be purchased online.
