I did a lot of talking to other vendors this last time in Paducah. Seem the martelli guys were over stepping their bounds big time. They knocked over a booth next to them when they stared dancing and acting up and thought it was hilarious. They were making inappropriate statements to the tune of they could charm any little old quilter to buy from them and had contests between them to see who could reel in more grannies. They only hired young good looking guys to vend just to charm the ladies. I heard this from many of the show vendors who were appalled at their actions. The vendors will give you the straight story. I also heard a lot of venting about the show's other problems but that's for another post. LOL.
