Hi from Pa. Three friends and I are going this year. I will give them the suggestions you all have shared. We have revs. at the Comfort Inn & Suites in Benton Ky. We have never been there but are very excited to go. We are driving and hope to find some quilt shops along the way. Thanks for the parking tip and the shuttle. Two of the ladies are older and I hope they can rest some at the show. I am excited and can't wait to go. We are planning for a week our time is not limited we are all retired.
