This spring, Paducah burst forth in a dazzling display of unparalleled beauty. Per the usual, the city’s dogwood trees blossomed in their own time—and this year, just in time for spring walks under blue skies, nighttime viewing of illuminated yards, and as a welcome for thousands of guests for QuiltWeek. Unimpeded by one late frost, the 55th annual Dogwood Trail was an exquisite display of nature’s elegance within our charming city.
