Onebyone, I thought I was the only person who likes to go to shows alone! Paducah is less than 4 hrs away and I've been going every year for about 10 yrs with a friend who really doesn't quilt but enjoys the show & vendors. Going solo would give me more ME time. We stay one night so I usually manage to get & see what I want. Of course I'm never ready to return home when she is!
