I live nearby and have always gone to the spring show. Since this is the first year for the fall...who knows?? I'll go to that, too, and we'll all compare notes afterwards. I believe the fall show is the one where the viewers will participate. The spring will continue to be all judged. Lodging may be easier to find for the fall show at this point. I think it's a bit late to find for the spring. I can't imagine that the AQS would put on a bad show and Paducah is a unique place to visit.
