We have been receiving messages about the hotel lottery asking what is happening with the money you paid. Your checks were sent to the Executive Inn and were cashed by its owner, Bhupinder Singh.
The hotel is in the process of being sold to a new corporation. Until the closing is held on that transfer of title, neither AQS nor the new owners can do anything about your hotel rooms. Believe me, we are as distressed about all of this as you are and are working with the new owners to expedite confirming the hotel rooms as soon as that closing takes place. It is now in the hands of the attorneys who are preparing the legal documents for the transfer of the hotel.
We pray that is is not much longer before that closing can be accomplished. There are other planning activities that can't be resolved until that happens too.
Please hang in there with us.

Convention Center Remodeling Update
Yesterday we needed to measure a space in the Paducah Expo Center and I stopped to shoot a photo of the workers busy on the renovation of the Julian Carroll Convention Center. You can see this huge crane lifting parts of the heating/air conditioning units onto the roof. The parking lot was full of cars and trucks...so we know a lot was happening there.We didn't want to interrupt the workers and did not go inside, but the supervisor told us they were busy working on drywall, painting, and ceiling tiles on the second floor. From the front doors, we could see the drywall dust in the air from sanding.
Next week we'll stop by late in the afternoon (after the workers have gone home) to shoot some photos to give you a look at their progress.
The Convention Center will be all new for the AQS Quilt Show in April. The ice storm only slowed them down by two days...so they are still right on target for their completion date.
And Now the Clean-up After the Ice Storm
Thanks to all of you who have inquired and sent messages asking about AQS and our staff. The AQS office is back up and operational. The online registration is again working properly, so you can go to http://www.americanquilter.com/shows_contests/paducah/2009/registration/ . From this page you can order a registration guide, print the pdf of the registration guide, or go directly to online registration to register.
Now that the ice is gone, we are left with the aftermath of the ice storm. This is a view of the trees surrounding Dolly McNutt Plaza, just behind the library in downtown Paducah. It looks like this on all four sides of the Plaza. Some of you may have visited this city park where free wireless Internet connections are available. This ice storm is the worst natural disaster ever in the state of Kentucky. This week it was designated a Major Disaster by President O'Bama, which will allow the cities to recoup some of the money that has to be spent on handling the disaster. (Click on the photo for a larger version.)
This utility pole located at the corner of the Paducah Expo Center parking lot is an example of the problems the utility companies are facing. There are literally thousands of utility poles snapped in half, or in this case thirds. The weight of all that ice was more than these poles could stand. The transformer from this pole stands alone like a little soldier left behind on the street. Cindy Carrico, our Assistant Show Director, counted 28 snapped utility poles between her home in Fancy Farm and Mayfield, Kentucky. What a huge task it will be to get all of our power operating again.
The power is being restored section by section, however many of our staff still do not have power in their homes. Many have generators and others are living with relatives and friends. This is now Day 12 and some don't expect to have their power on for two to three weeks yet. Yesterday the news reported that more than 500 utility workers from nine states are here helping to work on the power lines. A big Thank You to all of them and to our local utility companies for working so hard to restore our power.

Update on Ice Storm
Most of our staff is back in the AQS office today. We have resolved the problem we were having with the online registration. However we have lost registration information from Tuesday January 26 until today (February 2). We have the names but no other contact information for these people.
If your name is on this list and you used our online registration during the past week, please contact our office via telephone, 270-898-7903: J. Bryant, L. Cartwright, L. Andrews, N. Lindsey, M. Myers, M. Carr, V. Hermann, C. Hanks, R. Chabot, E. Hutchins, M. Thelen, S. Russell, J. Walsh, K. Daniels, N. Dearing, J. Epperson, J. Massingill, S. Livingston, C. Wanska, P. Zepp, K. Curran, J. Waldrop, C. Grimmer, K. Briggs, L. Meyer, S. Lewis, N. Muskopf, D. Herman, M. Pittman, J. Sanborn, S. Hobbie, S. Creevy, A. Neisler, S. Rogers, C. Anderson, M. Rexford, S. Scherer, J. Norton, B.

You can view the photos larger by clicking on them. This photo shows how the tops and branches of our trees look. There are still many branches just hanging from the trees.
This is the view as you drive on Highway 62 toward Paducah onto Clarks River Road that shows how the trees are bent to the ground or toppled all the way to the ground.
This view as we drove down the street shows how the trees just completely toppled over from the base of the tree. You had to navigate around the trees on many, many streets.
Here is a close-up view to give you some idea of the amount of ice that covered the trees here in Paducah and across the state of Kentucky. You can certainly see why the branches fell - they could not withstand more than 1/2" to 3/4" of ice on every surface.
Thankfully most of that ice melted and fell off on Friday when the temperatures nearly reached 40 degrees. It sounded like mass wind chimes when the ice fell off.
It is a blessing that we all survived this massive ice storm, kept warm the best way we could - many of us becoming better acquainted with our neighbors, and are moving forward. Many of our homes still don't have power but we know the utility companies and many volunteers from utility companies in other cities are working hard to restore our power. There are some major transmission lines down that will take some time to restore.
Thanks to all of you who have sent message inquiring our AQS staff. We are back to work and glad to be in our warm offices.

BIG Ice Storm in Paducah
As many of you know since Paducah has been on the national news -- we have had a major ice storm and the AQS office and most of our homes are without electricity and telephone service. Even our cell phones have been out and are just now coming back up.
The ice has damaged trees and utility lines all over the state of Kentucky. More than 400,000 households were without electrical service. Crews from other states have now joined our local utilities to restore that power. The National Guard has been called in to help remove trees that are blocking roads.
When I left the office on Tuesday about 3:00 p.m., our power had gone out and our office telephone system was out too. Even as we worked on Tuesday, we could hear the trees cracking and falling to the ground. That has continued, and branches are still falling. Last night one limb tore our phone box off our house. The temperatures have only gotten into the 20's each day so the ice hasn't started to melt yet.
If you are trying to register for the Paducah Quilt Show, we cannot currently receive your registrations. The online registration is not working, our fax machine is not working, and we are not at the office. Watch this Blog for more information when we are back up to power and can take your phone calls and registrations.
Bonnie Browning - writing to you from the Paducah Library, which has had its power and phone lines restored. Stay warm wherever you are...we have having some challenges in doing that.

Quilt Contest Entries
Hundreds of quilt entries have arrived at the AQS office. We received five big mail trays like this in just one day.Sharon Durbin, our Quilt Contest Coordinator, has been busy opening and entering these entries, along with some assistance from Tracey Hawes. If you are wondering if your entry has arrived, you can see that it is hard for us to wade through all of the entries to find just one.
Once the entry information has been input into the computer, we will get the images ready for jurying in February. In early March, all contestants will be notified with the results of the jury process.
Good luck to all of the contestants who entered the 25th Anniversary AQS Quilt Contest! Will you be the next winner?
Registration for the Paducah show is open online, http://www.americanquilter.com/ (click on Shows & Contests) or you can call 270-898-7903 to register by telephone. If you need a copy of the registration guide, you can also view or print it online too.
Reconstruction is Underway at the Convention Center!
Click on the photos for a larger image.
Today was a bright and very cold day (9 degrees) here in Paducah, and our staff went to the Julian Carroll Convention Center to see the progress being made on the reconstruction of the facility. We've all been waiting for these construction trailers to be parked in front of the center -- that means reconstruction work is underway!
We were all required to wear hard hats in the construction area. Here Terry Guill, Meredith Schroeder, and Rick Loyd discuss the some of the details related to the renovation of the Julian Carroll Convention Center with Downtown Development Director Steve Doolittle (blue jacket). I'm busy shooting some photos so you, too, can see what is happening. It was a slow start to this project but now work is well underway and Black & Sons Construction plans to have it all finished and ready for the arrival of the quilters in April.
.
Scissor lifts make it easier to work on the ceiling of the exhibit hall. You can see why everyone wears the hard hats. There are many different groups of workmen working throughout the building and a construction zone like this is no place to take a chance. So that means we had "hat hair" for a while today! It was worth it to be able to show you what is happening.
Work progresses on raising the ceiling in this portion of the second floor of the convention center. That will add a lot more light to view the wall quilts that are exhibited in this area.

We will all appreciate the new wider doorways into the classrooms, new lights everywhere, Smart Boards in the classrooms, new restroom facilities, and even some new sign holders marking the rooms making it easier to see what is being held in each room.

Executive Inn Lottery Update
Work is progressing on the closing of the sale of the Executive Inn. There are many legal documents that have to be finalized to complete it. We, too, wish this could all be finished, and hope that soon we can announce that it is all final.
Last week I met with Bill Parsons, President of Space Coast Hospitality Management Services, who is buying the hotel, and Chef Tim Creehan, who will be managing all of the food services at the hotel during our event. Here is a link where you can meet Chef Creehan: http://www.beachwalkcafe.com/aboutus/timcreehan.html . He is excited to plan food for our special events, for the restaurants in the hotel, and also outside near the barbeque and strawberry shortcakes. I have the Chef's cookbook, Simple Cuisine, and I can't wait to taste some of his culinary handiwork.
Also, those of you who participated in the room lottery at the Executive Inn will be contacted soon by staff from the Space Coast office. We are forwarding them all of the cancelled checks that you have sent to AQS. If you had a check cashed for this lottery and have not sent a copy of it to AQS, please do so immediately.

Thank you for being so patient with this whole process. We want you to come to Paducah and enjoy an exciting 25th anniversary with AQS.
