Wow! after reading all these posts, I guess the $3 I paid for the last quilt show was a bargin! I have to admit that I would pay $5 because I really love going to all the vendors and I usually buy more stuff (like I need it) and it does support the guild. I like the idea of staying all day, but ours is usually so small that that wouldn't be too much fun. I did buy some great old quilting magazines when I was there, and so all in all, I think $5 is a good price but if the show is small, I think over $5 might be too much.
