Visiting the Quilt Museum would make it worth the trip!  (yes, I said that...  'Quilt Museum')

She is aware of the museum and would love to visit it.  She also understands there is a casino where she can get her slot machine fix taken care of.

It was a lot of fun and meeting Brad was the best moment of the trip.

She could go to the museum with my wife the quilter and there are also a couple of good quilt shops there as well.

My apologies Dee.  I didn't realize that the dates conflict with the Fall Gathering.  If you would prefer, say the word and I'll remove this thread or the Admins can.

I fully understand that this is the same weekend of Dee's Fall Gathering and many of you will be attending that event.  If there are some folks out there who can't get to Dee's and would like to join us in Paducah, we would love to have you.  Otherwise, you guys have fun at Dee's!

Two big BBQing events on the same weekend.  It doesn't get much better than that.  Let the blue smoke roll!

I can't wait to see the pictures and read all about it, I hope the message board is just as busy as the two events.  ;)
