Paducah's AQS Quilt Week is just a month away

Many people have been fixated on counting down to the solar eclipse in April, but another big Paducah event is now less than a month away.

Quilt Week will take over downtown Paducah from April 24-27, hosted by the American Quilter’s Society.

The annual event is scheduled for Wednesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Paducah-McCracken County Convention & Expo Center.

Thousands of visitors from every state and around the world will converge for classes and demonstrations, vendors and exhibits, contests and more.

The quilt show also draws lots of attention from local quilters. Advance discounted tickets are on sale now at their official website .
