The next stop on the ABC Scavenger Hunt:
Each spring, during the Dogwood season, quilt enthusiasts from all over the world flock to Paducah for the National Quilt Society’s annual event. The Quilt Show is one of Paducah’s largest events of the year and draws large revenue in tourism. Hotels for miles around the city fill up months in advance of the show. The Museum currently averages more than 40,000 visitors per year from across the country and at least 25 foreign countries.
Make a photo of your group in front of the large circular sign bearing the name of the museum.
Make another photo of your group in front of the historical marker that proclaims Paducah as Quilt City, USA.
Team 2 in front of the museum, which incidentally, and unbeknownst to Myra, no longer has the big circular sign.
Team 3
Team 1 by the historical marker.
I just would like to know what a Quilt is..
