I, too, am very jealous. I want to go to that show so badly. Maybe next year, if I start planning now. I have heard it is difficult to find rooms, etc.

I'm going for 2 days! We have reservations at KY Dam Village for the week. My hubby says he's going with me one day and then he'll golf or fish or something the rest of the time. It will be my first time there, I did go to Knoxville to it last year. I've been saving my money for months!

Next time check out the motels in Mayfield KY. It's only a 20 minute drive from Paducah - I stayed there last year.

I went last year - staying home this year. Don't miss Hancocks or the mall. Be sure you wear comfortable shoes & take a bottle of water. It gets very crowded and sometimes warm - depending on the weather. Have fun!

My BFF and I are doing a day trip to Paducah -- it's almost an annual pilgrimage....Since the hotel where the show used to be is now closed, I'm not sure who will be where. However, take your walking shoes, your camera and a charge card :lol: :lol:

After you visit Hancocks of Paducah -- go down the same road a bit and visit the Hobby Lobby -- they always have special sales too...

And don't forget to sample the food vendors outside of the show. There is a wonderful little stand that sells the best BBQ you've ever eaten as well as another little stand that sells strawberry shortcake...

I'm sooo jealous!!!! But really happy for you Ninnie, I know you'll have a blast! Take the BIG tote!

I hope you all have rooms already because they are always booked up. If you go that far, go over the bridge to Metropolis Illinois and check out the huge Superman statue, and also Harrah's Casino! For the quilt show, make sure you have comfortable shoes, lots of patience, and credit cards or $$$$. It might not be a bad idea to take a bottle of water and a snack altho they DO have a cafeteria - enjoy the vendors - my favorite part with all the new items!! Have fun!

Sounds like much fun. I went to a quilt show in Houston, Tx years ago. I could walk then, lol. Had a good time, we were a bus load. Go if you can it is something to see.

I usually go every year, at least for the past 8 years. This year due to doctoring things won't be going. I really miss it. I always take a full schedule of classes as that is my passion. My sister, cousin, and a quilting buddy go and they take less classes. I see the quilt show and vendors between classes. Always hit Hancocks, Eleanor's show is a hoot, visit the book store and the mall. Some times try to see local quilt shows too if we find out about them. There are usually church dinners that you can get into for a nice meal at a reasonable price and lots of interesting quilting folks. Enjoy and remember you may not be able to see it all the first time. We always go a day early and do some of that too...Will be wishing I were there in April...
