Parking at the Paducah Quilt Show

Since the Executive Inn is now completely torn down, we will have a lot more parking places where the hotel once stood.

Here is a link to a map that shows you the Parking areas, the bus route, and the locations of the Expo Center, the Convention Center, and the Pavilion.

You will also see the bus route marked. The AQS Bus Stop is directly in front of the Expo Center. The route will be used by the Anchor Trailways shuttle buses that travel to/from the hotels and local attractions, and the charter buses coming to the show.

The Food Tent is located in front of the Convention Center. Find your favorite barbeque, burgers, and the Boy Scouts' famous strawberry shortcake at the food tent. In addition, the concession in the convention center will be open in the morning and lunch, plus the concession stand in the Expo Center where you can get some grab and go goodies.

We will be holding the Quilt Museum's Annual Quilt Auction in the Food Tent this year. Don't forget that you can also participate in the auction through our webcasting this year - you will even be able to call in bids as the auction takes place. Here is the link to sign up for this year's webcasts (sponsored by Pfaff) that include lectures, special events including Ricky Tims, and the Quilt Auction. Even if you can't attend the show this year, you can enjoy some of it right at home on your computer.
