Meet Beth Cooper, Missouri Star’s Bus Coordinator
If you have ever planned a group trip to Hamilton, Missouri, chances are you have emailed or chatted with Beth Cooper. Beth is our enthusiastic Bus Coordinator here at Missouri Star Quilt Co., but that is just one of the many hats she wears. She is also a writer and quilter who you have likely seen over at Nancy’s Notions, sharing helpful sewing and quilting articles and blog posts. You may have even bumped into her while attending one of our big Missouri Star events like the Missouri Star Academy, Birthday Bash, Halloween Party, or Fall Festival.
Representing Quilt Town USA on the Road
Beth recently hit the road to attend Group Travel Con in Owensboro, Kentucky. The conference brings together professionals who plan bus trips all over the United States. Beth attended to promote Hamilton and encourage group travel companies to remember the quilters in their area. After all, a bus trip to Quilt Town USA is filled with fun, fabric, and friendship. We want more travelers to experience how special it is to visit Hamilton and explore our incredible shops.
