I often make day trips to Paducah. The bar be que festival is always fun, and of course the museum is a must. When you go to Hancock's of Paducah, make sure you go early in the day!!! Fair warning, they do and will turn the lights off on you at closing time! LOL, I have heard many say that when it is dark in there it is DARK!. Have a great time, I am planning on heading down there again myself in July.
