First of all...Hancock's of Paducah is a MUST STOP. The bargains will be in the back room where there are tables upon tables with sooo much fabric. Of course the earlier you get there the better because there will be many, many women pawing through all of that fabric. It's fun, though. All you need to do is a "shout out" that you're looking for a hot pink, or something, and soon others will be shouting back that they found something for you. Also, in that back warehouse room there are lots and lots of jelly rolls, bali pops, and kits that are very exciting to see. Out front the bolted fabrics are endless. Also, many quilts hanging from the ceiling for display.
Then...across from the museum the Murray Sewing Center from Murray, KY will have a "store/tent" set up all week. They will open up on Monday, a couple of days ahead of the show. Eleanor Burns always has a tremendous sale barn, etc in one of the parks. And, I agree, that the really good deals will be there. They usually have three price categories on the fabrics, lots of books and other "tools" of the trade.
The whole town will be devoted to making your stay a pleasant one. Trollies run constantly between the parks, the Mall where there are vendors...some good deals can be found there..., the antique mall downtown where there are more vendors and deals, and the convention center where the actual show is set up.
Hope you all have a great time. We here in Paducah can't wait to see all of you.
