When I went to the Ricky Timas seminar in Glenns Falls, NY, all the stores in town were decorated with quilts and had huge signs to welcome the quilters. Even a banner at each entrance of town. My favorite was a restaurant that had the windows decorated with quilts made only with fruit and vegetables fabrics, even one small quilt with pie fabrics. The bank had quilts with money and the post office with stamps fabrics. It was very well organized by the town.
