Bag Check
The convenience of a FREE BAG CHECK will be offered to visitors, allowing them
to store bulky or heavy purchases securely while continuing on to view
the rest of the show.
Instead of lugging around bags of fat quarters and sewing notions, yardage
or out-sized items such as cutting mats or a quilt, visitors may enjoy the
show with free hands simply by dropping off purchases at the bag check.
We'll keep them safe and sound and no one will have to remember to
run back to buy something at the last minute in order to
avoid lugging it around for hours.
