What are your suggestions for a 1st timer to Paducah?

I'd also include a small notebook for making notes or drawing designs you like. You are supposed to ask before you take pictures, esp in the vendor areas. I drew some designs that I saw to keep in my scrapbook.
If you can, buy some sturdy cushioned socks. I got some from REI as when I was at Paducah I put holes in my socks from all the wonderful walking.
Since I am from Arizona, YES to a water bottle. However, I take a very little one so I can easily refill it at the water fountains and it weighs less than the bigger bottles.

All of the suggested items are great. Tuck in a bottle of water and a snack. Also, take a pack of mailing labels with your name already on them. If you register for something, you don't have to take a long time to sign up. Have a wonderful time.

One of my great friends and I went two years ago, we had a blast. We were there five days though, it's gonna be hard to get everything covered. We may be spoiled with having Lancaster PA only a short drive from our house but our opinion is, you can skip Hancocks, so overrated and overpriced, our opinion. Don't miss the Eleanor Burns tent, now that was wonderful, she also does a free show there, well, at least she did when we were there and she's a hoot. Don't miss the vendors in the mall, sorry, I don't know the name of it, my favorite vendor was there, Primitive Gatherings. You'll have so much fun! We did.

Comfy shoes, snacks, sweater for the main bldg. Lots of energy!!!! A must is a visit to Caryl Bryer Fallerts studio one block from the convention center. It is awesome. Also if you can get to the museum, I highly recommend it.

One vendor said they could memorize the pattern. :roll: I witnessed this by overhearing the vendor tell her helper to go interrupt the lady looking too long at the displayed quilt. I didn't give the vendors that had over the top rules posted any of my money. 8-)
I actually don't think it's constitutional to tell someone they can't write on paper or in a notebook, anywhere! It's no one's business if you choose to stop and write something down for your own purposes, and who's to say what your are even writing! I would definitely plan to ignor any "no paper and pencil" rules.
What will they want you to do next, shop blindfolded? :roll:
