We’ve made some changes to streamline your entrance into the event!

Standard and senior tickets will be sold at participating quilt shops.  The tickets are valid on any one day of the event.  The senior discount will be offered all three days.  At the door there will be separate cash and credit windows.

We encourage you to purchase your ticket before the event.  If this isn’t possible, cash at the ticket window will be the best option with credit cards a second choice.

Advance tickets will be available at various local quilt shops by August.  Tune in then for a list of participating quilt shops. You can purchase a senior or standard ticket and use it for any one day admission!  Parking is still free to you!
