Eastern States Exposition is New
England's largest fair, also known as "the Big E". It is
usually held in September, in West Springfield, MA. Maine 4-H
members between the ages of 12-18 are eligible to participate in the
4-H Beef, Beef heifers, Dairy Cattle, Dairy Goats, Dog, Horse, and
Sheep shows.
The Big E motivates and recognizes
the achievement of individual 4-H members, while encouraging them to
work together as a group. It gives 4-Hers a chance to interact
with youth from other states or areas of Maine and to share with the
public some of the programs Maine 4-H offers.
