Big E – Danny Grant

By New England Nomad

Date Of Visit: Sep, 2026

Location: Eastern Exposition Center, 1305 Memorial Ave, West Springfield, MA (2 hours west of Boston, MA)

Parking: There are parking lots at the Big E as well as various lots near the Exposition Center

Cost: Ticket prices vary by age. But admission for an adult is $20

Website: The Big E

Summary: Danny Grant performed rope tricks at Dolly’s Honky Tonk at the Big E!

The annual Big E event in West Springfield may be known mostly for its good eats, concerts by big names like Roger Daltrey, the Beach Boys and Ice Cube. But, there is also a wide variety of entertainers with a special set of skills. One of these entertainers is Danny Grant of Cowboy Circus.

Danny adds music and banter to his act.

Some of Danny’s more impressive tricks included using two lassos and stepping in and out of the ropes.

And sometimes he even did rope tricks with his toes!

THos are just a few of the tricks Danny used. He had a lot more tricks up his sleeve, or arm!

I couldn’t help but smile while I was photographing Danny. It’s always a pleasure watching an expert ply their trade. Those are very often the easiest photo shoots. Just set your camera, adjust accordingly and enjoy the show.

Hi I'm Wayne. Welcome to my blog. I am a true New Englander through and through. I love everything about New England. I especially love discovering new places in New England and sharing my experiences with everyone. I tend to focus on the more unique and lesser known places and things in New England on my blog. Oh yeah, and I love dogs. I always try to include at least one dog in each of my blog posts. I discovered my love of photography a couple of years ago. I know, I got a late start. Now, I photograph anything that seems out of the ordinary, interesting, beautiful and/or unique. And I have noticed how every person, place or thing I photograph has a story behind it or him or her. I don't just photograph things or people or animals. I try to get their background, history or as much information as possible to give the subject more context and meaning. It's interesting how one simple photograph can evoke so much. I am currently using a Nikon D3200 "beginner's camera." Even though there are better cameras on the market, and I will upgrade some time, I love how it functions (usually) and it has served me well. The great thing about my blog is you don't have to be from New England, or even like New England to like my blog (although I've never met anyone who doesn't). All you have to like is to see and read about new or interesting places and things. Hopefully, you'll join me on my many adventures in New England! View all posts by New England Nomad
