A van that was unloading supplies for the Georgia Celebrates Quilt Show at the Cobb Civic Center accidentally crashed into glass windows near the main entrance on Wednesday.
That’s prompted county and show organizers to set up an alternate entry for those attending when the event begins Thursday morning.
Cobb government said an exhibitor lost control of her van as she was trying to drop off the supplies. The woman was unhurt, and the building’s structural engineer said the crash didn’t impact the safety of the building.
The vehicle was removed from the scene and doors were boarded up by the main lobby as repairs got underway.
The show is presented by the East Cobb Quilters’ Club and continues through Saturday, featuring more than 300 quilts, bed coverings and other homemade quilted works.
Handmade ribbons and over $4,000 in cash prizes will be awarded by nationally certified judges.
Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. all three days, and admission is $10 daily.
The Cobb Civic Center is located at 548 South Marietta Parkway.
