Ed with a fine selection of fluorescent minerals.

I spotted Sean getting ready to use this bottle of ruby spinel as a topping on his fries! So I bought them from him to save them from a horrible fate. I gave him some salt instead... 8^)

Stephen and Santana claim they are social butterflies, but they don't fool me!

Keith and Paige

This was one of our largest shows to date. The parking lot and indoor and outdoor vendors were packed with people all weekend. That is because we have the finest vendors anywhere!

Bryan with a great selection of Arkansas quartz.

Michael forgot his shoes! Not good since he was set up next to a table full of quartz crystals.

New vendor, Baylee and her man.
