Going to Paducah what's not to Miss

Since they don't allow any rolling carts, what does everyone carry their purchases in? Backpack?
Also, I was reading the vendor info and it said they require vendors to sell at full retail, and they can only offer one "special" per booth. What fun is that? Those who have been before, were the vendors all selling at retail prices? I never pay full retail for fabric.

As far as prices, I've never had any problem with what folks were charging. Some stuff is 'full price' but many things are extremely reasonable. Many vendors have pre-cuts at a good value and I've bought tools and supplies that I wouldn't have been able to find elsewhere. You have live demonstrations and those vendors encourage you to step up and try it yourself. You'd like the big fabric sale across from the Quilt Museum that the Murray Sewing Center has...great prices there. Plenty of value at many places if you are wanting to grab bargains.
The Kentucky Dam Village is about 30 minutes away and you can get a room, a condo or even rent a houseboat.

The old Finkle's store is at 2nd and Kentucky Avenue. Across the street from the Carson Center auditorium and just about a half block from Kirchoff's Bakery. 2 blocks from the Quilt Museum. I don't know if the shuttles run all the way to it, but they do run on Broadway and that is 1 block up. Very easy to walk to. from those places.

I had no trouble booking a B & B just 20 minutes from Paducah... Decided to go, looked online and found it, booked it and- BOOM- done.

Not much for crowds so I haven't been to Paducah during the show, but I did go there a couple of years ago. (Family emergency cut the visit short, so I didn't get to Hancock's or the museum, so I have to go back.) If you want a break from the hustle and bustle, go down to the river front. The Ohio and Tennessee rivers converge there and is a sight to see. Also, I just saw on the APQS website that starting in 2017 there will be two shows, one in April and another in September.
