My DH goes with my DD and myself. My DD lives in Paducah and the first year, he stayed at her house and could not even figure out how to use her remote control for the TV - so was bored for the day - in town - we are farmers and there is always something to do on a farm - not so much in the city. Anyway, from then on, he went with us and said he actually liked it. He was able to "People Watch" - well actually - "Women Watch" - but he did seek out the husbands to talk to. DH is a very friendly guy. I have told this story on here before - but here goes again:
I asked DH what he thought that the average age of the quilters was and he said "70" and they are all from Iowa. Yes, most of the ladies had on name tags, from their bus trip, etc. and it had their names and states on it - but I did not remember seeing very many from Iowa. So, I said "Iowa?????" - he said - Yes, they are all corn fed - LOL
You see, we raise cattle and corn fed means that they were "plump". So, he thought that the average quilter was age 70 and plump. LOL
but, last year, he said that the average age was much younger as we saw many women with tattoos, body piercings, fuchsia hair, pink hair, chartreuse hair, etc.

Looking forward to spending the day there and what fun stuff they will have. I love Paducah.
Oh and be sure to go downtown, great food and lots to do there as well.
