I really like this show. It's in a smaller venue, not a lot of dealers, but the silent auction, surprisingly nice quality slabs, and the bargain rocks corner make it well worth the drive. The kids area is great too.
Oh yeah, if you've never seen the flourescent rocks show it's the best I have ever seen.
I plan to be there one or both days, depending on how long my cash lasts.
