The Eastern States Exposition annual Cider and Perry competition is now in its 3rd year. The short local name for the exposition is "Big E", which is fair held over two weeks, on the second weekend after Labor Day. In preparation for this year's Big E a wine, cider and perry competition took place. The wine segment has been running for over 13 years! Cider and Perry as noted is now 3 years in the running.
This year’s judging for the upcoming Big E, took place on June 9, 2018. There were over 50 ciders entered from all five New England states and New York.
The judging was held on the ground of the Big E and wine judges were also present, naturally sitting away from the cider judges
