I'll be there pretty much all weekend either at the silent auction table or the front entrance. I'll be the large guy in the tie dyed Mt Hood Rock Club Tee shirt.

You're missing out. Yesterday a 20 lb piece of NICE graveyard point plume went for $40 at the silent auction, and $30 for a specuacular 10-15 lb brazilian.

I'm guessing they moved this show back out to the fairgrounds? A few years ago I went to it when it was at the Expo Center - Worst show I went to - Had to pay $7.00 to park, $7.00 per person for admission and then due to the cost of booth space, you could not afford to buy a rock.
Good Luck at the show!

Got a chunk of willow creek, some slabs and other goodies today. The show is rockin'. It was a good thing to bring it back to the fairgrounds.

We showed up today about 1:30 pm.
Shot our wad, so to speak. Met a couple of guys who knew you from the Mt Hood Rock Club, Wayne was one of them, I think the other gentleman was Steve but I might be wrong on that.
Ended up picking up a pair of tumbler shafts on bearing blocks for a song, apparently the guy ran out so we got his display. Quite a steal because I don't think you can buy 4 new pillow blocks for the total cost, in fact I am almost certain you can't.
Bought a fair amount of rough including some nice pieces of Ocean Jasper, Kambaba Jasper, a small piece of opalized Limestone, a bit of Goldstone and a piece of Adventurine, as well as a couple of others.
Another batch of rough from Wayne and we had to retreat before offering to sell the kids ;D
