It's Show Time!

March Show 2010

Dates: March 6-7, 2010

Yes, it's time to get ready for our Show!

Tell your friends!  Tell everyone! 

Junior Members, it's time to prepare your Display Cases for our show! Our Show Theme is: "50 States, 50 Minerals". The number '50' also relates to our 50th Anniversary as a club.

Just think about what rock, minerals, fossils, you would like to show, and start creating.

See Esther Kearns for ideas and help.

Then, get together with your parents to fill out and hand-in your Entry Form.                  

We are going to have a bigger, better show this year with new dealers, new Junior Booth offerings, and more fun!  :-)
