==History==
The show began its existence at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where it was held in the Student Union building in the 1970s. It moved to the New England Building on the BIG E fair grounds in 1983. However the show quickly outgrew the New England building and moved to the Better Living Center in 1984. The show now is held in the Young Building, Stroh Building and the Mallory Building.
