Just a little clarification. It does cost $7/person to go INSIDE the auditorium of Savannah Center and see the 300+ quilts, all made by Villagers, plus many historical quilts with "stories" are presented on the stage of SC. BUT you can go to Savannah Center and for NO FEE, you can wander around the massive lobby, go into the side rooms and see many amazing smaller quilts, vendors displaying many quilt items and even buy things if you choose. So there is part of this quilt show that is free and open to the public.
This show is put on every two years, and The Quilt Guild of The Villages works the whole two years to put it together. There are costs involved, and any proceeds go to charity (I believe). It's a 2 day event, and I went today where the crowds were quite heavy. Saturday should be smaller crowds and parking available at Savannah Center (9 am - 4 pm) as no shuttle is being offered on Saturday. Come out and see some amazing quilts and handiwork. There is much talent here PLUS some quilts are marked "For Sale."
