WEST SPRINGFIELD — The Big E is in full swing for 2022, and for the first time smaller local businesses are being given the opportunity to test the waters of being Big E vendors with the new “Front Porch” section of the fair.

The Front Porch is a space just outside Gate 9 of the Better Living Center. Local businesses rotate in and out of the space through the duration of the fair, with multiple businesses from Westfield and Southwick participating in the time-share.
