Quilt shows can be a lot of fun to attend. The one that was in Cincinnati is put on by the same people who put on the big show in Houston every yr. I will warn you that if you don't like crowds, you might not enjoy shows like that as there could be as many as 50,000 people there at any given time! You also need to give yourself a minimum of 2 days to really see the entire show & visit at least some of the vendors. If you have a local guild they might put on a show every yr or 2. Start with a show like that & work your way up to the larger ones.
