1. It's Paducah! If you get to the quilt show early, there is usually parking around. It's an easy town to get around in and you are close enough that you can walk to Eleanor Burns' store from the show and there are other good places. I never rode the shuttle, we drive (we live in KY) and go wherever we want to. Hancock's of Paducah is one place you must see. You can park there and catch the shuttle, too, if you don't want to drive downtown.
I hope you make it, it's a show everyone should get to attend at least once!
