Everyone was up bright and early Friday morning, I got a cup of coffee and went down to camp to join everyone for the morning activities. We loaded up a bunch and headed to the Grassy Creek show in Spruce Pine, I thought we would check out the GLW show first, what a mistake, that had to be the worst show I ever walked into, but I walked out pretty quick, rounded up our other members and off to the real show at Grassy Creek. Once we arrived, we went straight to see our M.A.G.M.A. member Denny at his booth, he was set up with another of our members Thomas Davis, they both had a lot of great material for sale.

More M.A.G.M.A. members, Frankie and his Wife set up at the show.

And more M.A.G.M.A. members, Steve and Netra Cochran were also set up there.

Now I know why John D. always wins when he plays marbles!

Me and John with Thomas and Denny.

Annie and Lee both bought a couple of cool amethyst geodes:

Annies is the big one, Lee got the little one.
