My friend and I went to Paducah yesterday. We only live about 35 minutes away so we try to beat the crowd by going on Wednesday. Well, someone must have let our secret out about not so busy Wednesdays, cause everybody showed up. We went to the balloon pavillion and you had to go through a turnstile to pressurize the air, but my ears still knew the difference. It was full of vendors and all had very nice things. I think there was a longarm dealer on every corner. The convention center was also full of vendors, quilts and people. It was a beautiful day, and we had a great time, but won't go back this year.
