I went to the PQIF in Santa Clara this last year and I went both days just to make sure I hadn't missed anything. It worked out well because the hotel I stayed in was right across the street from the convention center and it just happened to be in the Great America (or whatever it's called these days) parking lot. My DH loves roller coasters and I HATE them so he went along with me to Santa Clara and rode all the "scary, horrible" rides all day while I looked at all the "boring" quilts all day, and we were both happy as clams!
They really should put quilt shows near amusement parks more often. LOL!
