The Big E

Yesterday my chorus sang at the Big E, or the Eastern States Exposition, up in Springfield, MA. We performed in the New England Center at 6:30 pm, and boy was it hot in there! I was sweating so hard that someone in the row behind me slipped me a couple of Kleenex to try to mop up my face!



We sang for almost an hour, and the audience seemed to enjoy the show. I saw a lot of familiar faces out there. Our fans from Connecticut!

Marty was there too, and he took a bunch of pictures. I find it very difficult to take good action shots with my camera -- it is apparently much better equipped to deal with things that aren't moving around. But Marty did a great job and some of the pictures will be appearing soon on the chorus website.

After the show, we walked around and saw some exhibits and checked out some of the animals. There were huge Clydesdales and tiny little piglets. And of course we had to try some of the food. They have everything at the Big E. Even fried dough! Or should I say, especially fried dough. We also saw Percy Sledge performing and sang along with his hits.

It was a great time! The Big E is going on for another week or so -- don't miss it!
