The YoYos made hundreds of those bows that year...the vendors almost ran out of 5" squares there were so many bought. I'm betting it was Mom you talked to...I'm the only child of any of them that takes an interest. The Museum also sells my hand-dyed silk scarves in the gift shop. The Methodist church on Broadway (a few blocks from the show, but within walking distance) has wonderful low cost food. Mom and the YoYos always eat there at least once. Here's the link to the church website:
http://bumc-paducah.org/ someone there will be happy to tell you about what they offer.Pizza Inn has a great buffet in place for the quilters too. (Mom and her gang always eat there too) It is between the Expo Center and Hancock's Fabrics. The Boy Scouts usually set up out side the Expo and sell fresh strawberry shortcake. Oh yeah...Merle Haggard is going to be at the Carson Center on Thursday night if anyone is a fan...there may be some tickets left (we got ours in Dec) There are lots of chain restaurants out by the mall and Hancocks...Applebees, Outback, Rafferty's...and all of the burger franchises. Ryans has a buffet and there's a Panera Bread too. The Presbyterian church
http://www.westminsterpresbyterianpa...OurHistory.htm also offers meals on a quilter's budget (why waste money on food with all of that fabric around) Ask any questions...I'll pop in every day and give you the scoop!
