Contestants: Letters have been sent notifying quilters who entered the Lancaster Quilt Contest. It's going to be a great show. Good luck to all of the contestants. Someone will win that $10,000 Best of Show award!
PADUCAH...
The 27th Annual AQS Quilt Show, April 27 - 30, is held at the Paducah Expo and Convention Center and the Pavilion (near the Convention Center).
* The quilt exhibits are in the Paducah Expo Center, both levels of the Convention Center, and the Pavilion. The city is tearing down the Executive Inn but the Expo and Convention Centers will still be there for us to use.

* Parking is available at the Convention Center (with more parking available in the Executive Inn area), downtown parking lots, and additional parking with shuttle service at Carson Park.
* Participating hotels provide shuttle service to/from the Convention Center - check with your hotel to make sure they are providing this service.
