If you're driving you will have the option to stay even as far away as Murray,KY. That's only about 40 minutes away. As mentioned earlier..try Grand Rivers Tourism, Harrah's as Metropolis, IL which is across the Ohio River and only 6 miles away. If you're lucky enough to stay in Grand Rivers there is a little quilt show at the Senior Center there. I'll have a couple of quilts in that one as well as an entry in the Paducah Show.
