    There has been a big change in plans for the Paducah quilt show.
    Here's the info I just received. Please check ahead to make sure all your plans are in order!

    BREAKING NEWS 2011 PADUCAH QUILT SHOW
    Show Continues Despite Flooding
    by Bonnie Browning, Executive Show Chair, 270-898-7903


    April 25, 2011, Paducah, Ky., - Due to high water along the lower Ohio River at Paducah, the floodgates that protect the city are being installed. To protect the safety of visitors to the American Quilter's Society annual Quilt Show & Contest, events usually held at the Paducah-McCracken County Expo and Julian C. Carroll Convention Center have been moved.

    Best of Show, category winners, and bed quilts will be on display at the Pavilion at the corner of 4th Street and Executive Boulevard. Vendors that were in the Expo Center will be there, too.

    At Kentucky Oaks Mall, 3470 James Sanders Boulevard, The Alliance for American Quilts display will be at Circuit City. The Pilgrim/Roy 2012 Challenge display and AQS Lancaster 2011 winners will be at Office Max, also at the mall. Vendors that were in the convention center will be located at Circuit City. Vendors that were in the Pavilion will be at Office Max.

    All classes and lectures and All Star Review will be held at First Baptist Church, 2890 Broadway, where the Wall Quilt contest and winners will be displayed.

    The Food Tent will relocate just two blocks to the Farmers Market located behind the museum at the T-intersection of 2nd Street and Monroe.

    As always, there will be Vendors on Kentucky at 200 Kentucky Avenue, also known as the Finkel Building, and the Hurt Book Sale.

    Events planned for Carson Four Rivers Center and The National Quilt Museum will continue in place. The Yo Yo ladies, Live Auction, and Silent Auction will be at The National Quilt Museum.

    Shuttles will run between all venues so visiting quilters may travel safely.

    A little water can't stop the 2011 AQS Quilt Show in Paducah. Come see us!

    I wasn't going, but I was afraid it might have been cancelled. Would have hated to see so many of you disappointed.

    My mom is in Paducah and she says that the flooding is a sad situation for the people that live and work in the area. The show is happening, but there is much reorganizing and distraction.
