For those missing a stroll along the Avenue of States at The Big E, grabbing a bite to eat and a beer from the New England Craft Pub, the Log Cabin has the next best thing.

With the annual fair called off this year because of the pandemic, the Log Cabin has teamed with the Eastern States Exposition to offer some of that experience at its Holyoke restaurant Thursdays to Sundays, starting Sept. 10.

At least 18 regional beers and ciders from New England Craft Pub will on tap, along with outdoor live entertainment (weather permitting), and Big E-inspired foods like the Turducken Sandwich, Mick’s Irish Nachos, The Log Cabin’s signature Chicken Pot Pie and, of course, Big E Cream Puffs.

“We heard the disappointment in our guest’s voices when The Big E was cancelled. We are excited to work with the great team at The Big E to be able to bring a little part of this annual tradition to the local community,” Log Cabin owner Peter Rosskothen said. “It may look a little different, but we aim to create the same welcoming joyful environment that patrons of the New England Craft Pub are used to experiencing each year.”

Gene Cassidy, president and CEO of Eastern States Exposition, said, he was excited to partner with the landmark Log Cabin.

“Bringing a little bit of The Big E to the region is a welcomed venture and it promises to be a shot in the arm for a local business as well,” Cassidy said. “Putting people back to work, sustaining businesses and getting the economy going again is of the utmost importance. And doing it while enjoying Big E signature foods is a real plus.”

Indoor and outdoor seating will be available, all socially distanced at 10 feet apart, with table service by the Log Cabin staff. Reservations are strongly encouraged and food purchases are required to be served beer and cider while seated at a table. Reservations can be made at www.thelogcabin.com
