We'd like to go again.
None of the local tour companies are going to the spring one in 2019, but one company is going to the fall 2019. We could postpone and go Spring 2020....
Please give me your thoughts. TYIA
Now I know you wanted to hear from people who had done both shows. I haven’t but my sister has. She runs bus tours from Canada down. I went last fall. She said personally she preferred the fall. She couldn’t get over how we could get right up to the displays and really see them. Sometimes the creators were there and we had great conversations. I was with her when she was dealing with the admin of the show for things. They said they’ve gone back to the two shows because they’ve had so many vendors complaining that they couldn’t get spots. They were back logged with a waiting list. This helped them apparently. The whole town seemed to be involved. The free trolley was wonderful. Hotel prices she said were better as well. Hancock’s was definitely ready for us. Spent lots there. Lots of displays around town. Quiltman joined us on a bus tour of the city. My sister says she’s keeping her tours there to the fall. Less people so just easiervall round. I thought there was a lot of vendors personally. Got good deals on a few things.
