Thanks for your responses. This quilt festival is in a small town in Illinois, (maximum 200 quilts). I found some pictures online from the show last year. I wouldn't mind my quilt being displayed on a hanger in the middle of the street but I wouldn't want my quilt laying on the concrete pavement or under a tree.

I think I will pass on this outdoor quilt festival. I am not sure it is worth the risk.
