Yes, I'm going, and I live less than an hour away. There are two smaller shows. One at the Continental Hotel, with this website:

They are in addition to the AQS show in downtown Lancaster. I don't know how crowded the quilt shops in the area will be, but I know that most of them will have extended hours. I talked to one shop owner the other day, and she's staying open until midnight!!! As far as restaurants, you can find anything in the Lancaster area....every chain restaurant, Amish, etc. etc. If you need any further info, just let me know! Be happy you're not coming this week....Lancaster may have 6 inches of snow tomorrow!
