You won't find any great fabric bargains. Quilt in A Day has big tent/wareouse fabric sales. Also be sure and watch Eleanor Burn's tent show. It's fantastic. She has it twice a day and then stays all day to sign books. She always has a smile on her face and very accessible to quilters. Her shop in downtown but her show sales are out by the fairgrounds. She may have moved to her warehouse this year. The Rotary Club always has a quilt exhibit with lots of vendors in their building. Finkle's has $6 quilt books in their warehouse. The Quilt Museum has the auction quilts and the Yo Yo Ladies.
The mall has lots of vendors! Too many to miss. Hancocks is fabric overload. If you have time sit on the porch and talk to the dozens of quilters there waiting for the shuttle buses or tour buses. It's fun to meet quilters from all over. If you are driving you can get to places faster then using the shuttle bus but the bus is fun to chat with other quilters. Plenty of parking everywhere. Take bottle water with you.
