lucyquilts Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Hello everyone! Newbie here. I'm Lucy, and I love to quilt. I have a guest bedroom for my fabric and have an old Nolting Hobby quilter on a Grace table. A good friend of mine has been thinking about being a vendor at the road to california show next year and she heard at her guild meeting that they may be closing next year. Has anyone heard about this? I wanted to see if there were any confirmed reports before my friend pays money for a booth there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoryJM Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 She'd have to sign up to be a vendor; I'm sure that if they're closing, they won't be taking sign ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gable428 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Welcome to the Forum. I'm a Nolting owner, too [Pro 24]. I have not heard that the show is being cancelled. I have heard it's hard to get a booth there, but I could be wrong. Maybe someone else knows more than we do? Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiltmonkey Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 I don't think it's closing... Out of plain curiosity I just Googled Road to California (it was soooo easy to do that myself) --- and from the looks of it, this show is alive and well and going into 2012. Rumors fly. Too bad these rumors can't be investigated first, and squished before they get spun up, and perpetuate and get people concerned. Here's the link! http://www.road2ca.com/information.html PS: Maybe you can edit your message to say "Road to California Show is NOT Closing" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomQuilts Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 I don't post often, if fact I have never posted, but felt the need to respond to this post. I contacted Carolyn Reese who owns Road to California and here is Carolyn's response: I do not have access to the forum but if you do you can quote me. "road to ca is not closing. We have several years of contracts with the convention center. The vendor mall for 2012 is full, vendor invitations and contracts have been sent. The ladies friend absolutely does not have correct information." Carolyn Reese, owner and CEO, Road to California I hope this puts the rumor to rest. Sincerely, Tom Russell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancingraisin Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 I got my first e-mail for Road to California 2012 last week. It highlighted the quilt competitions, particularly one for children. So I'm betting it's going forward as scheduled. Cynthia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraJ Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Phew! I was worried there for a bit. I'm planning on going in January as I had a great time at that show last year. Thanks for checking with Carolyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seakitten Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 I attended Road this year, & I can tell you it was bigger and better than ever. It is alive & well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srichardson Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Class sign ups begin next month. Carolyn is going to have more longarm classes throughout the show and they will be six hours long instead of four. I keep checking for the faculty list to be posted. I had hoped that it would be available before the MQX sign ups began so that I could see who is going to be where. This is going to be an expensive few weeks for show registrations!

Guest Linda S Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 I think someone may have confused it with Innovations, which will not be in operation this year. Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
