Are you going to the show in Redmond that's on the Thursday & Friday before the Sisters show? DH & I are staying in Redmond for 3 days so I can attend all 3 days of shows. Then we're heading north so DH can feed some sloths at some animal sanctuary sort of near Portland, LOL.
I was lucky & my first Sisters quilt showing was the first Redmond, Or Quilt Expo, in 2013. Last year they had a bus that carried us from Redmond to Sisters. I don't remember it costing any extra money, you just had to have your bracelet on from the Redmond Expo. After I arriving in Sisters, I understood the term...very limited parking. Make sure you know where you left your vehicle! We saw more than one person wandering around trying to find theirs.
I agree with all the comments from everyone else. Especially about wearing very comfortable walking shoes. Some of the quilts are for sale in Sisters. I didn't know that before I went. There are several shops & tent areas with quilting patterns, material, etc for sale. I took those fold up lightweight bags that would fit over my shoulder to carry stuff with. The Sisters quilt show tee shirts are found in several sales areas. If I could go again this year, I would!!!!!
