I go to Paducah every year for a week. start out with a class with Eleanor Burns on Monday and all star review on Tuesday then show Weds-Sat and then drive home. I am about 3 1/2 hours from Paducah. Yes it is hard to find a room we book from year to year. But there may be bed&breakfast still available and some quilters in area open their home to other quilters. check with chamber of commerce for room options. good classes,quilts, and vendors, things all over town and shuttle buses.
