If you dont have your reservations for a hotel by now, you probably wont be staying in Paducah. We stayed about 45 minutes away last year. Do the show, the mall, Hancock's of Paducah, Eleanor burns store, the speakers in the park and the museum. That will take you days.
The Rotary show was just okay.
Eating. They have all the major chains but I remember a Steak place by the interstate....not Outback but something southern that had good steaks and great drinks.
Enjoy!
