Joanie Owen 08-27-2010 01:27 PM

Yes.I am going to be there as well as two other members.Taking a bus from Palm Coast.

marymay 08-29-2010 05:51 AM

Yes I am going all 3 days.15 $ for the 3 days. Going to take the DH with me for one day. Maybe I can talk him into buying me more stuff. Talking him into this is so EASY.

Hi MaryMay, can you purchase the 3 day pass ($15) at the window, or do you have to get them beforehand?
I've looked on the website and didnt even see that offered. But I do know I want one of the 3 day passes!!
Thanks!

Absolutely. Keep in touch so we all know which day to meet there!!!!!!!

marymay 08-30-2010 08:20 AM

Quiltfest Jacksonville.This is what I found out. When you go to the ticket booth to buy.You tell them right then and there that you want a 3 day pass.Pay your 15 $ and you are good to go. They ever take credit cards.I will take the 15 $ in cash.Faster then a credit card.

nwm50 08-30-2010 09:47 AM

Thanks MaryMay for that info. Am going on the 23rd....

marymay 08-30-2010 10:02 AM

I am going to go all 3 days. It will take me that long to see everything.I am going to enjoy everything there.I was told 20 minutes ago that my hubby will not be here. He is in the Air Force and will be gone the whole month of September.

alimaui 08-30-2010 11:32 AM

I will also be there! ( I live in OP in oakleaf.)

nwm50 08-30-2010 12:23 PM

Alimaui....you're down the road from me practically. I live off of Normandy Blvd, across the street from WalMart there! Well now, we're finding more & more of us onboard being close together than we knew !!

marymay 08-30-2010 02:17 PM

This is so nice. Maybe now I can make so friends.We can(maybe) get together for a lunch date and some quilting talk.

nwm50 08-30-2010 03:59 PM

that sounds great! I was wondering if we can think of an way to identify each other at the show so that we can have time to at least say hi? I understand the show can be lengthty and we only have so much time to see everything and this is my first time going! Finch has to catch a bus back and it leaves @ 4 pm.

marymay 08-30-2010 04:40 PM

Thursday we can figure out what we will be wearing and tell each other online.Or we can wear a name tag.I tell tell you what I look like.Does anyone have facebook??What about that?

nwm50 08-30-2010 04:43 PM

I have facebook....hardly ever used it but I do.

DazzleMe! 08-30-2010 05:12 PM

franie 08-30-2010 05:14 PM
