So would I be a bad sister . . .
if I skipped my sister's baby shower? It's the one given by her in-laws, not the one that will be given by our side of the family. DH is already scheduled to serve at the Cider & Perry festival on the other side of the state that day and it's a couples shower. I'd still give her a gift (I see her every other week or so at my parent's for Sunday dinner). I had hoped to get a press pass to the festival so I could go too. DH said he's fine skipping the festival if I want him to.
Re: So would I be a bad sister . . .
Well, will you be attending a shower given by your side of the family? If so, I don't see why you would need to attend the inlaws shower too.
Granted, I know very little about baby shower etiquette, so take my advice for what it's worth.
My sisters did not attend the shower I had here (they all lived on the east side of the state), but they did host another one for me on their own.
So, no. Not a bad sister.

Yes, I would definitely be attending the shower given by my side. If not throwing it (usually an aunt steps up, in the event no one does I'll volunteer. But she's not due until November).
You don't need to go, and I don't think you need to give her a gift either.
Your family is throwing her a shower to celebrate the same thing as the in-law shower. Would you give someone 2 Christmas presents if you were at 2 different Christmas parties with them? Probably not.
Have a great time at the festival.
Thanks everyone, for making me feel better!
