I look at the quilts first. If there is something you haven't found locally it is a good place to look for it. Its good to walk through first if you will have the time to go back. But note the booth if you see something you might go back for. I'll try to note if someone has a really good show price, or something I won't see locally, sometimes if I see either of these I will just get it while I'm there if I'm sure I want it. If I have a limited amount of time as I visit vendors I will pick up the things that really move me when I see them. Generally I do make some purchases and the vendors support the cost of putting on the show, so without them there might not be a show at all.
