Sounds great! See you there. Don't forget to bring some preprinted address labels if you have them, they make it easier to enter all the beautiful raffles. There will be lunches and snacks available, but I usually stuff some granola bars in my pockets so I don't have to stop! Also, there is usually 2 lines for entry tickets, 1 for if you have exact change ($14), which goes faster. I think the coat check was $2 last year, they would hold packages, too. Hopefully they will do that this year.

Was going to try to attend, but am now working full time trying to catch my grandson up on 'home schooling'. His mother had the brilliant idea that she could teach him at home this year - but she's not good at follow through if you know what I mean. So now he has 3/4s of a school years work to do between now and June. She wasn't making any attempt to 'school' him, so I'm doing it over the internet.
He's being a real champ about it, and sticking with me for about 6 hours a day. He tells me that I am 'hard core' when it comes to school.
Wish I didn't have to be 'hard core', but if I don't do it this way, it won't get done.
Unfortunately, we will be working weekends, too.

One hint, if you are there on Sunday afternoon late you can often get better deals on items. Vendors want to carry back as little as possible so many mark down items.
It was very crowded yesterday (Friday), busiest I have seen it since it moved. I am contemplating going back down.

My DH tells me I can't save the world...true, but I want so much to help this one child become a good man.
Thanks for your thoughts.

We need to have more people meet up next year on Saturday--we can meet for lunch--buy it there or bring your own.
I thought Saturday was not as crowded as Friday. Also, I didn't think there were as many quilts as last year and a ton more vendors than last year. Anyone else notice that?
