The results at the Big E, 2026 edition Right at the beginning of this blog, I have to tell you this. My girlfriend Suzanne is a trooper. She went through every Big E tradition and superstition with me without batting an eyelash. Superstition #1 - get to the Big E as early as possible. That means leaving Albany at sunrise, so that we could park near the entrance. 90 minutes and a $10 parking fee later, we were in Springfield. http://chuckthewriter.blog/2026/10/04/the-results-at-the-big-e-2026-edition/
