WEST SPRINGFIELD, MA – The Big E fair continues to draw crowds with its diverse attractions and culinary delights, but one particular stand is garnering attention for its exceptional value and refreshing offerings: the 4-H Milk Booth. Located conveniently in the shade of the Mallary Building, positioned across from the popular pig racing event, adjacent to the bustling Midway, and behind the agricultural displays of plows and tractors, the booth has become a favored destination for fairgoers seeking a cool treat. For an accessible price of just $3, visitors can indulge in a "jetshake," an aerated milkshake available in classic flavors including chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. This year marks an expansion in the booth's menu, now featuring mix-and-match options that allow for personalized creations such as the chocolate-strawberry swirl and Neapolitan. These blended flavors were previously only available as special, off-menu requests. One patron described the beverage, stating, "It's more of a consistency of chocolate milk, but it's fantastic." The combination of affordability, variety, and a unique aerated texture positions the 4-H Milk Booth as a notable highlight at the annual fair, offering a refreshing and budget-friendly option for attendees.
