The Big E fair starts today out in Western Mass and goes through October 3rd. Always a great time to eat crazy fried foods, take the kids on rides, and see the Connecticut house! But today’s mystery… what does the “E” stand for?
There are a few different theories on this. One being that the original name of the fair was the Eastern States Exposition.
But it wasn’t until 1966, for the fiftieth anniversary, that the fair began marketing itself as “The Big E.” Which at the time the organizers said the “E” was an emphasis on “entertainment, education and excitement”. Which makes sense since they have all of those things! Plus delicious cream puffs… yum.
Anna said that her red lipstick is her trademark! It’s what she is best known for! But what does Anna think Raven’s signature look is? Also, what is your signature look you are known for?

Here was today’s question if you missed it earlier…
Q: 52% of teenagers have never purchased one of these
It might just be my memory but I always feel like there were so many more ice cream trucks when I was a kid. Every night after dinner you’d hear the music all the time. Feels like there are a lot less nowadays.
Either way, starting October 1 there are a whole bunch of new laws going into effect here in Connecticut. One of them involving ice cream trucks.
This new law will require drivers passing ice cream trucks in the process of selling ice cream to stop and proceed slowly. Almost like school busses. The law will also implement safety equipment requirements and operating rules for the ice cream trucks. This all comes under something called “Tristan’s Law,” which was named after a 10-year-old Connecticut boy who was killed by a car while trying to buy from an Ice Cream in June 2020. Very sad story, but will ensure the safety of kids in the future.
Next time you see an ice cream truck, proceed with caution.
Anyone who has toddlers knows how important Mac and Cheese is to the weekly family meal prep. Even if you’re an adult, Mac and Cheese probably plays a big part in your life. But when and where did it come from? Who thought of it?
It’s more interesting than you think. The person who introduced the delicious Macaroni and Cheese to the U.S. was nonother than our third President… Thomas Jefferson. He actually brought the recipe back to the U.S. after being on a trip to Italy.
Great call Tommy Jefferson. My 2 year old daughter thanks you.
