I went to the “Big E” yesterday. I did it for work! Yes–I was paid to go to the “Big E” and eat. Is my boss reading this?
Here’s the story about my experiences I reported at 10:00 PM on FoxCT. I hope you enjoy.
And here’s my liveshot from 4:00 PM.
Geoff, you have a dream job! Fox was wise to snare Fox! Thanks for making it so darned much fun and for allowing these little glimpses into your personal experiences.
damn, now I want to go…. lol
Thanks so much for sharing this Geoff….I missed the broadcast at 4pm…..helping my 11 year old with homework, and fell asleep before the 10pm news. Glad you posted the video ….laughed like crazy at the shot from the 10pm news!!!!
How was the traffic? I’ve heard that the US-5 bridge is only one lane now…
You are correct. It was a light night and the traffic was awful.
How was the elephant ride? Looked like fun!!
It was smelly fun.
Glad to hear the fun factor was there, in spite of the smell!
Geoff, If I tried to eat a fried Oreo while sitting on a Ferris Wheel, I think the result would be disasterous.
But the real question is “How was the deep fried Oreo?” Did it sit in your stomach like a lead sinker?
Geoff,
This is one of the reasons I like watching your Broadcast. You make it fun to watch. I bet you that Fox is happy with you on the team. I know that I am and as it looks here I am not the only one. Great Job Geoff.
Geoff,
I am the “old lady” who poked you and introduced myself when you were leaving the “fried kool-ade” stand. How I wish that we had gotten there sooner. We were on our way out of the park. My son in law had just expressed his question of “how does one deep fry koolade?–We would have seen for ourselves, had we been a few minutes earlier. Those Ferris Wheels looked tempting. Don’t know that I’d have the guts to do that any more. The last Ferris wheel that I was on was at the Orange Fair, at least 5 or 6 yrs ago. I am glad that Fox let you continue your experimenting with Big E food! But going as part of the job, how much of the fair do you actually get to enjoy?

Thanks for the Big E post. My kid was the one tooth wonder who guessed the oreos. He was so excited to be on TV we can’t thank you enough. Glad you had as much fun as we did. We’ll be watching!
