This event also includes vendor booths featuring arts and crafts, food and beverages, and quilts and quilted items for sale. Exhibitors can sign up to show off their favorite quilts. There is no entry fee and no judging, just the enjoyment of sharing the art and beauty of the quilts. Free admission to the public to view the quilts.
