Maybe, but it is a shame there aren't more obviously Catholic vendors.

And I'd check out Bethlehem books, Apologia, and the more "not a chain" booksellers, unless I were looking for some particular curriculum item.

Nothing there I would bother with, although there are a couple I've not heard of. Most are the same old Protestant stuff.

If it was the closest and easiest for me and my family I might go. Because....
I wish I could meet a Shiller Math Rep in person, they are sooo nice. And if I could meet Mr. Shiller, well, I'd kiss him!! Not really, but shake his hand wildly and thank him profusely for all his hard work-and the fun we have(most days)with Shiller Math. And the lessons have nothing religious in them-just plain fun and math.
I also second a visit to the Sonlight booth. We used a few years of their stuff and had a wonderful time--only broke away because of this group and ds just wasn't ready for SL2--and neither was I  There is a wonderful Yahoo group, SL Catholic, with extensive files for each year with info on substitutions for the non-Catholic materials.
I do know some Catholics who use ABeka and are comfortable making it "theirs." I personally couldn't, but just putting it out there.
So, you could have some fun--don't be discouraged....I wish I was "shopping" this year. We didn't accomplish much so I have very few things to buy, we have our work cut out for us this summer.

I would go - I'm a curriculum junkie, though.

Well, I went and I'm glad I did. I went to a talk about managing small children while homeschooling. The talk wasn't great but she did mention that you need to have a plan for little ones just like you do for big kids. I need to sit down this summer and brainstorm a list of things for the babe.
I also hit the consignment books section and bought a small armload of Magic Schoolbus books so that made me happy!!
It was a pleasant morning.
