I take with me two of my sisters. I would never take anyone younger. just say we are all on SS. We take a few classes, shop the first day, and mark all the booths we want to go bak to. Look at all ther quilts, and get what we might need for just ONE of them. the third day we BUY. By this time we have scoped out all the booths, found the best buys, and sometimes the FQ have been reduced (added bonus). number one rule is to have fun.
