To all re-posters:
Thanks so much for all the helpful replies! From your information I
think crowds are going to be the main attraction in the city! Maybe I
will just concentrate on quilting - who knows, I'll probably meet some
quilters and by Sunday we will have formed little groups and maybe
hire a car together (it would be good for an US citizen to do the
driving, wrong side of the wrong and all that...). I'll take note of
the restaurant/cuisine ideas too.
With Paducah being on the border of Missouri I hadn't thought of
sightseeing in that direction. The State Park mentioned sounds it
could be blissful after the crowds of the quilting symposium.
Again, appreciate all your comments. Local knowledge wins out every
time.
Cheers
Bronwyn
