While all six (6️⃣) New England states are represented within the scope of the Big E at the Eastern States Exposition in West Springfield, Massachusetts, individual states may also host fairs within the region, most notably the Vermont State Fair in the City of Rutland, Vermont; and the Fryeburg Fair in Fryeburg, Maine. Within Contoocook, New Hampshire, the Hopkinton Fair is notable for being the largest in-state fair in New Hampshire, largely serving a more local area within the State as the Eastern States Exposition serves the entire New England region. Additional satellite fairs of regional significance include locations in Bangor and Skowhegan, both also located within the State of Maine.

Favorite Month of the Year: July (not August!)
My favorite month of the year has always been, and will always be, July. While I have never actually spent significant time with friends, I aspire to use the month of July to network with new people in the future now that my next July is my first July as an independent person. While I may use July to mourn about the past in certain cases, i am normally more excited for what happens in the month of July. With family, July has represented vacation month for me, including a grand trip that had covered Cleveland, Niagara Falls, Cooperstown, Salem, and Hershey in 2023, as well as trips to upper Michigan and the Bay Area in California in 2024 and, most recently, to lower Michigan along Lake Michigan in 2025.
