Coming up in about a month on Mother's Day weekend, Bozeman will be hosting their G&M Show. It has grown quite a bit in the past few years and has attracted a lot of vendors. I dont know that this would be a "destination" show but if you are in the area or need an excuse to come to MT it might be of interest. Cheers
Here is the clubs announcement:
The Bozeman Gem & Mineral Club's Rock Show - 2014. Show and sales, over 15 dealers, gems, minerals, jewelry and beads. Member displays, silent auction, grab bags, garnet tables and raffles. Saturday May 10th: 10am to 6pm & Sunday May 11th: 10am to 4pm. Building #1, Gallatin County Fairgrounds, 901 N. Black, Bozeman, Montana. Adults $3.00 for both days, children 12 and under are free. Bring your mother on Sunday and she will get a dollar off the entrance fee. Each child will receive a free polished stone.

I really like to attend Bozeman as a connection from my reading of ZAMM

That's close enough that we may make it up there, if the weirdness lets up a little.

I went, I saw, I hogged the auction. Met some wonderful people and re-met a few who I remembered from the last time. No one remembered me of course, but I knew who to go to with questions.

Gals you enjoyed the Bozeman show, a lot of folks worked hard to put it on and it was a big success. Too bad we didn't connect, maybe another time. The silent auction had a lot of good stuff. Cheers.

We went up on the 10th, great little show. All the display cases had great stuff in them. Kudos to everybody who worked on it.
