Oh, Paducah!

By Shirley Deshler

Discover the charm of Paducah, KY, a small town in western Kentucky renowned for its art, rhythm, and rivers. Known as "Quilt City USA," Paducah hosts an annual Spring Quilt Show that draws international interest, often coinciding with the beautiful lighted Dogwood Trail. Each September, the town comes alive with its annual BBQ festival, raising money for various charities. Through poetry and photography, Shirley A. Deshler captures the essence of this beautiful small town she calls home-a place considered one of the best small towns in the USA. This book is a delightful journey for both locals and visitors alike.
