Thursday evening, April 13, 2017, Quilts by the River will host a preview event.   The event is by invitation for the participating quilters so that they might enjoy a preview of the quilts on display and receive notification of the awards.  In addition to the quilters; the show judge, mayor, other local dignitaries and vendors are invited to view the displays as well.  This event was well attended last year -- offering refreshment and professional musicians providing the entertainment.
