Hi! This will be my third year to go. It is overwhelming! A friend and I park the car near the convention center and view all the quilts and take in all the vendors along the way. I believe you have to pre-register for the classes. There are shuttles that take you around to different buildings/shows and motels. You may want to take your own lunch; however, they do have vendors selling food outside of the convention center. Be sure and wear comfortable shoes. There is a website that will explain in more detail about the show.
