I know hotels are booked up almost a year in advance (I remember staying at the Hampton Inn one year and they were already circulating contracts for the next year). BUT, having said that, last year, I checked Hotels.com and found a room at the Days Inn just a week prior to the show. I asked the front desk about it and she said they 'block' rooms for regulars (business travelers) and release them right before the show. Hotel isn't 5-star, but was next door to Hancock's of Paducah!! :)

yes, the expo center is opened to anyone who pays the admission fee. If you are an AQS member, I think the admission fee is less by a few bucks. I don't think there are any other perks for the membership- no discount on class fees or anything else......
the rest of the town/shops - open to all! |
I plan to attend, perhaps the end of the event. My dh and I will be in the area so "Yippee"!

The Days Inn was in a flash flood last summer and all of the lower rooms got a couple of feet of water in them...they are all repaired and brand new now, so, should be very nice. |
I saw some of you all mention Quilters Alley and sadly, Pat English passed away last week. she was such a sweet lady and a big part of the 'quilty scene' in Paducah, she'll be missed.
The family isn't sure what they are going to do at the moment, but did discuss having a big sale during Quilt Week. |

I am going, it will be my second time. First time we almost got rained out and the rivers were in flood condition. But, it was great to see all of the quilts.
|
I just decided today to go! I booked a room in a B and B. Can anyone tell me where would be a good place to find parking?
|
If you don't mind walking you can park at the farmers market area. It is across from the quilt museum. Half way between the convention center and downtown. Nice walk either direction. Maybe a half mile each way
