Presents, Prizes and Cream Puffs!!!


Everybody loves a free gift, especially when they keep on giving. This year, The Big E is giving out free gifts…..a free button that is.

Cute and creative, they boast sayings like, “The Fair with Flair,” “Pro-Cream Puffs” and “Love, Liberty and Llamas.”

Fair goers can find staff members and receive a free button, or take fate into their own hands and buy the button of their choice for only $0.50.

Why should anyone wear this button you might ask? Well I, along with the rest of the staff, get to go onto the fair grounds and hunt down button wearers to hand out prizes. It’s the best part of my job. Reactions vary, but most winners are so excited that they jump up and yell. One lady was so excited that she gave me, a complete stranger, a hug.
What can you win? We hand out cream puffs, Big E tickets, Rock Cats tickets, Dunkin Donuts gift cards, even Fergie tickets.....
