A print I bought about 20 years ago showing "Massachusetts Sports Equipment on Parade" sometime around 1950. Also, carrots and "Mass Apples." View full size.
This is an interior shot of the Massachusetts Building at the Eastern States Exposition, commonly called the Big E, held in West Springfield, MA every September. The Avenue of States includes a building from each New England state, displaying the particular products made/grown/raised in the state. RI has quahogs, Maine has baked potatoes, and Vermont has maple products. Massachusetts has lobsters, and Connecticut has Timex watches.
Looks like it may have been part of the the Eastern States Exposition, known as the Big E which began around 1917 and is still an annual event now in Springfield Mass.
