Off the top of my head, I think the Hershey show is usually near the end of July.
This was my first time at the Lancaster show. I thought it was okay. They had a lot of vendors. I'll probably go again next year simply for the sales and the energy out in the quilt shops nearby. I stood in lines with so many lovely ladies and struck up conversations with strangers who felt like friends by the time I paid for my items. Quilters in a fabric store are a happy bunch!
