Just got the flyer toda and there are 54 shops this year.
It used to be 3 days and now is four days. Just so many shops to get to. You get a passport and each shop you go to you get it stampped. When you get 16 you can turn it in for the drawing... and do another 16 and all kinds of things to win. I got a $10 certificate one year... but they give away a new machine and a $500 basket and loads of other stuff.4 Gift boxes and 108 certificates of $20 each. A quilt retreat to one hopper. Oh I see reading there are 2 machines this year. A BL Espire and a Bernina Aurora. There is a theam fabricanf each shop has a blk you get and you can end up with a top for hopping. WOW and I am just reading it is 5 days this year. Wed to Sat 9am to 7 pm ad sun 10 to 5. So sound like it will be a fun filled hop.

The local shop here have a 40% off everything 2 X's a year. June and Nov. June is my BD so hope I will have some $$$ to spend then and make it go farther.
Well I didn't meat to write a book but just so excited ...
