Couldn't work it into my busy "home bound" schedule this year; but still have my memories foremost in my mind of last year's Paducah trip. (My sisters (three of us who are still fairly mobile) try to make this one of our favorite things to do together every year.) I bought a demo Elna eXpresive 860 for about half price; and saw Ricky Tims' show which were the highlights of my trip--plus we enjoyed the big outdoor lunch/get acquainted lunch mentioned above. If you didn't get to go this year, start planning your trip to go next year. Paducah is booked solid by February of the year the event is held in April. And if I am not too far wrong, they start planning and booking next year's by the end of this year's event.
