I attended last year and really enjoyed - only complaint was the food. Hopefully will attend this year. Check out the website for more info.

Hopefully some of you will be able to get to see-worth the trip!

Is the show still scheduled. Was afraid it might be cancelled due to the flooding in PA. Anyone heard???

I was in the area yesterday, and the flooding is NOT an issue. My advice is to pack a lunch/dinner as the food is pretty bad/expensive with long lines. They had a nice area set up for eating, however. I am excited to be taking a saskiko class on Thursday!

Thanks for that info. We were planning on going to the Lancaster area. Is there any problem there that you might know about.

I would check about that, I live 10 miles from Oaks and not near Lancaster. My guess is that everything is okay, however.

I believe all is well in Lancaster - no flooding. Great fabric shopping. Have fun !!

Is there a place nearby to go for lunch ?

Not really close, one would have to drive. This show will be very crowded and parking can be far away. There is a Wegman's near, but one has to get on the freeway and go about 2 miles. Personally, I want to spend my time at the show, so I shall pack my lunch! The lunch eating area was nice last year, but the lines for food long. They have nice restrooms.
