I don't know who came up with April 1, being April Fool's day. I sure that person is passed on by now which is a very good thing. I would have been more than happy to help them meet their maker. I absolutely hate pranks. To get a great laugh at someone else's expense is just mean and often dangerous. That being said many Hancock FAbric stores have been closed and many to follow but they are not related to Hancock's of Paducah!!
