We killed two birds with one stone when we visited Paducah, Kentucky for 4 nights. Karen got a chance to enjoy a wonderful National Quilt show at Quilt City USA and I met a fellow Wood Pellet Smoker that I have known and communicated on forums for the last 5 years but had never met face to face. The town is located at the confluence of the Tennessee River and the Ohio River. The rivers are busy with barge traffic. Here are some photos of the rivers.
We were able to park down by the waterfront all 4 days of our visit. This provided us with easy access to downtown, the river, the National Quilt Museum, and the Quilt show. The “Winnie” parked with the big boys!!
Here are photos of the Paducah downtown area. This is their Christmas cause over 40,000 quilters visit the 4 day show and drop lots of bucks into the local economy. A couple of the streets reminded me of New Orleans. Make sure you check out the old 1936 Ford delivery truck. The Murals on the flood gate walls were really beautifully painted.
