WFA Members from California, Oregon, Idaho, New Mexico, and even a special guest from Texas came together in Springfield, Massachusetts, for jam-packed days of tours, learning, networking, and plenty of fair fun at The Big E!
A huge THANK YOU to Gene Cassidy, President and CEO of Eastern States Exposition, and the entire Big E team for opening their doors to WFA and giving our members an incredible behind-the-scenes experience. From sharing their expertise and operations to creating memorable experiences, their hospitality made the 2026 WFA Feature Fair Tour one to remember.
While on-site, our attendees also had the opportunity to connect with fellow industry members, including Blake Huston, owner of North American Midway Entertainment (NAME), and Greg Chiecko, President & CEO of the Outdoor Amusement Business Association (OABA), gaining additional perspectives and insight while diving into the behind-the-scenes operations that make The Big E such a one-of-a-kind event.
And, of course, thank you to every WFA member who joined us! Your participation, curiosity, conversations, and willingness to share ideas with one another are what make the Feature Fair Tour such a valuable WFA experience.
Stay tuned to for details on the 2027 WFA Feature Fair Tour!
