OMG....you went to the big E. We went every year from here in New York as it was just across the state line for us. Went for about 50+ years until medical issues have arisen for me. No longer possible so I will see it through your video. Thank you for sharing. Tearing up as I never thought I would see it again. ❤
That handwriting analysis booth has not changed since at least 1970-as a kid I always got that done and I'm 63! (I live just over the bridge in Agawam so I've been to the Big E too many times to count!). Fun fact: the state buildings are replicas of each New England state’s original statehouse sitting on land actually owned by each respective state.
Thanks again for letting me experience the Big E Fair once again. Before a serious car accident in 2019, I went to this fair ever year. You brought back some great memories and added some new ones. That Wild Mouse Dark Ride looked fun would have put me in the Hospital (severe back issues). You made me hungry with your New England Sea Food dishes!
@MichaeldeFilippi - Attendance records were insane this year! Did you go on the weekend??🤪 I was there the same day Jacob was. Crowds very manageable that day.😊
This was awesome. I think I might have to plan a trip up there one year because this was probably one of the nicest and most interesting state fairs out there. So much history in New England and I could spend all day in the village portion.
@boogiedaddy3434 - We go to the Big E every year. Love the village, too. Less than an hour from West Springfield is Old Sturbridge Village . From their website - "Old Sturbridge Village, the largest outdoor history museum in the Northeast, depicts a rural New England town of the early 19th century. The Village is designed to approximate the look and feel of a historic landscape and includes more than 40 historic buildings, such as houses, working farms, meetinghouses, a district school, country store, water-powered mills, professional and trade shops - all situated along the Quinebaug River on the homeland of the Nipmuc peoples."
We went to the Big E a few years ago it was amazing!! We had the best time!! Thanks for the laughs on the wild mouse ride...I was hysterical!!! Thanks for the video my friend!!!!
Thank you Jacob. Born in 1945 and used go to exposition every year in the 50s and early 60s. Have moved away but miss the fair. It was always a great fair. Thanks again
Jacob! I have no idea how I stumbled across your channel but it’s been the happiest couple of weeks I’ve had binging yours (and Jenn’s! ☺️) adventures. You are living the life so many of us oldies wish we could and I love watching through a big kids eyes! Thank you for sharing your life with us! ❤
It’s really good to see Hilby the skinny German juggling boy still going the act. I saw him maybe 12-13 years ago at the New Jersey state fair. Love the state fair videos. They are my favorite.
Thanks so much for this. I went on the first Wednesday this year, which might be the day you went too---the crowds look very manageable, as they were when I was there. I knew other people who went on later days, and it was epically packed with folks. Made it very hard for them to deal with. I'm so glad I went early on. The great thing is, you personally went all over and I get to see all sorts of things we didn't get to, as we are older and get so tired with walking. Each year we see new things we didn't get to the previous year, and revisit favorites. You gave me ideas for next year!
I'm so happy that You went to the Big E 🎉 It looked huge 🤩 I really like the reconstructed New England village 🏘️⛪💗 I always love the exhibits at the fair too ❣️ I will have to visit myself one day 🤞 Good timing for leaf peeping too🍂🍁🌟 As always, Thank You for bringing Us along Jacob 🙏💝😻
So glad you had a great time at the Big E Jacob! I’ll have to check out that Mouse Trap ride on Saturday. I’m 6’2 and hope I don’t scrape the ceiling! Safe travels!
BEST BIG E experience video! Thank You, Thank You Thank You Carpetbagger! Going for my second time this weekend. Really enjoy seeing your experience and things I can add to my game plan ( the big E is one of the most difficult ventures to plan for because most media only focuses on the crazy foods)😂 Now it feel like I have a little preview and see a few shopping/ attraction must haves I can go directly for rather than making my boyfriend chase me around in circles for over 9 miles again this year.😅
My son and son in law and a bear friends were there yesterday. They spotted you but you walked by going the opposite direction too quickly. They don't really watch your channel but I do and I told them to look out for you.
My wife and I get season passes each year. I wish I had known you were there -- I would have enjoyed meeting you. I've been going to the Big E since I was a child. The fair has changed a lot. It used to be primarily an agricultural fair (as most were). It eventually morphed into something more akin to a flea market with vendors everywhere. Now the focus is mostly on food. Any type of food you can imagine (and many you can't) can be found there now including the "Flatliner burger" and fried butter. The state buildings, BTW, are replicas of each state's actual state building.
What a GREAT State Fair Celebration 🎇🎉!!! Wild Mouse Dark Ride was hilarious,n live the animals n historical exhibits!!! Wonderful job, Carpetbagger n Congratulations for knocking out 5 at a throw in the State Fair Attendance Record Game!!!
I am so glad you made it to the Big E, so many great things to see! Maybe I will go there next year it, it has been many years since I have been there. 🙂 One of the biggest draws are always the little chicks being born. It has been so fun to watch you going through the Big E.
Born and raised in Massachusetts and never even heard of the Big E 😂😂 Now when I visit I'll have to time my visit during the State Fair!!! Loved this video cause I'm from there so thank you for visiting Jacob!!!
If you want to up the count of State Fairs Connecticut has the Durham Fair, I’m from Springfield and an interesting fact is this is where I met the Drummer from the popular 2000’s band Staind before they became well known. I used to get in for free because my best friends father used to work there every year.
Yay! Your back at my city!! Loved the one with the dinosaur that popped out..Holyoke mass is a city next to us(springfield) about half hr way depending how far in your going.. ( my dad's side is from out there so I visit when able) but now I'm gonna look into that so I can go!
I was just there with my girlfriend and her parents last week. I always love going to the Big E around this time of year there's so much cool stuff there.
One of the TH-camrs I follows wears a bear bell when he goes exploring in Japan to scare off the bears and boars. I'm sure you can understand why they run away from it. Lol Love the awesome contraption with the bells that the gentlemen was using to play epic-sounding music on. I saw him in another video of yours doing the same thing and I loved it! ♥
My daughter and I love watching your fair videos. We were really hoping you would be coming to the Big E. We are sad that we didn't get to see you. We unfortunately couldn't make the Big E this year.
Oh man, do I ever miss lobster rolls. I am envious. This was so much fun. I buy only real maple syrup now because it is worth the extra cost. You are the best customer they have ever had on The Great Monster Ride. That was intense. Thanks again.
Ah! I was hoping you were going to go inside the Grange Building! I am a member of the Grange in NYS. Its a beautiful building. There are representatives from each State Grange there daily to answer questions. There's also displays inside. Its been quite a few years since I was last at the Big E. Thanks for taking us along!
@archerroy21 - I was at the Big E the same day he was, and I did go in to the Grange Building, as we do every year. Apparently I did not win the beautiful quilt, but it looks like they were making a lot of money for the Veteran's. 😊
@@SharonPerson-hm9ds Yes the quilt is always popular. I hope you were able to talk with some of the Grange State Presidents while you were there and walk around the building. Thanks for sharing!
I loved the Great Monster Ride.😲😳😱😂😂 Best scare scream ever!! Love all the state fairs and other videos you do. Thanks for all the videos. I can't get out and do stuff anymore because of bad health issues. So I look forward every time to each new video. Thanks Jacob. 🎉❤
What you had is a knock off version of a stuffed quahog. The scallop did look pretty good. I have totally forgotten about the Big E. We were only a two hour drive away but for me it was like going to Disney.
So close and yet so far!! Not sure if you're still in MA, but if you are, I believe the Factory of Terror here in Fall River is open weekend nights until Halloween. I went to the Big E when I was younger, it was where my family would go to each year after the Danbury Fair closed down. I hadn't been in so long, and it seems so much has changed. The midway especially changed, gone are the Cake Walk and the haunted house dark ride where there was a witch that turned left and right (where I'd wait for my parents to ride it, as I was too chicken to back then), the magic carpet fun house and the jungle fun house with the big gorilla. So many memories.
2 things: 1. You were there when I was there! 2. You were in West Springfield, not Springfield. I got married there as well (not during the fair) and the address was West Springfield. Also thank you for showing our fair!

You certainly made a point of showing us how annoying that bear bell is 😅.
Indeed 😂😂😂
😋😋
Yum, your stuffy looked delicious. I love seafood too!
No beads for you! 😂
Hahahaha my bf was fast asleep while I was Carpetbagger binging and it woke him up 🫣🤭😂
The jack-o'-lantern display at Rodger Williams Zoo is INCREDIBLE !!!
Worth a drive.
The pumkin artists are extremely talented.
Peace to all.

That's pretty cool!
That Mouse Trap was genuinely terrifying. Let's do it again.😂😂😂 Don't ever change Jacob. Don't ever change.
my thoughts exactly!😂

50:01 best carpetbagger scare to date!
That made me laugh out really loud. Haunt Season is already here! 🎃🎃
ahh cant believe you went to the BIG E! Ill be there this weekend. It's next to my hometown. Also it's WEST SPRINGFIELD sir
@MichaeldeFilippi - Attendance records were insane this year! Did you go on the weekend??🤪

I love the Mousetrap! Imagine how scary it would be at night, when it's pitch black. Love the "brakes" at the end, lol.
We went to the Big E a few years ago it was amazing!! We had the best time!! Thanks for the laughs on the wild mouse ride...I was hysterical!!! Thanks for the video my friend!!!!
My daughter raises Boer goats for show…they are fluffy, lol!

That little 4-D truck thing would have made me so happy 😂
I'm glad you got to have fun at the Big E.❤
Stay safe. Hoping Jen is safe and well. Sending prayers for all our southern US
Wow! Now this fair looks sooo fun and a lot of things to do and eat. Thx for showing us around. Wish I was there 😊

Cast in Bronze looked amazing! I need to hear that in person!
Thank you Jacob, that was really cool! I didn't know there was a multi-state fair!
The scream on the monster ride was absolutely hilarious 😂
You are always welcome in New England my friend
You made it to the Big E!! 🚩Finally, too bad I missed you. ☝🏻😅

What day were y’all there? Yesterday (Wednesday) ?
@@robroy4452 yes!
Was that Agawam day? I'm from Westfield. I Love Carpetbagger! Been following him since the beginning!
I work on this street. The Big E is so fun! I went on the middle Saturday with record attendance, it was bonkers
I was just there with my girlfriend and her parents last week. I always love going to the Big E around this time of year there's so much cool stuff there.
Welcome to New England! There’s a lot more to explore in these six states. I hope you get to explore them some day!

Ya Jacob you made it to the Big E. I’ve been going since I was a child. Love it.
So glad you had a good time at the Big E!!! Please tell me your next weekend stop is Barrett's Haunted Mansion, it's an AMAZING haunt in Abington, MA!
The little chick next to "Big E" is "Chick E."
FUN VIDEO 👍 Jacob. LOVE the way you talk to the beautiful ANIMALS! 🐐 🐖 🐣
i love when people smile and wave at the camera lolo
You definitely made your point about that bell 😅.
Now that was fun ❤
If I knew you were out I would have bought you lunch. Happy trails.
Oh man, do I ever miss lobster rolls. I am envious. This was so much fun. I buy only real maple syrup now because it is worth the extra cost. You are the best customer they have ever had on The Great Monster Ride. That was intense. Thanks again.
The Dr Seuss museum is great in Springfield too
He visited there already :) video on his channel..great video :)

Not sure if you were aware but the buildings on the Avenue of the States each state building is a minature of each states capital.
Yes.... thank you for pointing that out - 😂😂😂it was bugging me but am so glad he is having fun! 🤭
@@aileenlyons2668 - I was going to mention that, too.
Congratulations on visiting your 37th state fair! 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
welcome back to MA!
❤❤ I LOVE LOBSTER 🦞 😋 😍 TOO !!!
Had to close my eyes while u were eating that lobster roll....I just couldn't watch !!!! Sooooo jealous lol ✌️❤️🙂
That was fun. I'm from Rhode Island.
I laughed so hard when all the animal pellets flew right out of Jacob's hand! Sorry bout it, Jacob, pretty funny though.
one of the most fun videos!
Thanks for taking us with ya. It means a lot to us that can't go. 😊
I missed you by a day! I was just there Tuesday. Would’ve been super cool to bump into you!
Excellent presentation!!
Awesome video as always Jacob keep up the awesome work and safe travels out there
My favorite state fair ❤😊
This is where Rockafire Bear a Dice Traveling Show, used to show up before it was renovated .
Love the big monster head that would have scared the poop out of me loved the look on your face 😂😂😂😂 I could not stop laughing
If you are near Florida - know there is a hurricane coming. There are warnings in Georgia and North Carolina, too.
Your in my neck of the woods carpetbagger, and just for future info it takes place in west springfield mass
I’m in your video ! right across from you last night Agawam day
You were in Massachusetts, in a Vermont building!
Looks Like Fun 👍

Did you see me at the Bangor State Fair? I was the one who won the Hot Dog Eating Contest! 🙂
Melody Farms was a hoot. Thanks for bringing all this excitement to us!
"Big E" is one of my nicknames as my avatar suggests.

2. You were in West Springfield, not Springfield.
I got married there as well (not during the fair) and the address was West Springfield.

Mousetrap looked like a lot of fun. The type of ride a younger me would have done over and over again.
