There are quilts displayed and a lot of them have been judged and ribbons are given. There are generally vendors so it is a good chance to shop. Wear comfortable shoes and comfortable clothes. Depending on the size of the show you can do a lot of walking, looking, and visiting with outher quilters. All the shows I have been to do not allow eating or drinking around the quilts but do have space set aside where you can take a break. Some have food vendors but you can always take your lunch.
Have lots of fun.
