Sept 9th & 10th, Saturday 10-6, Sunda 10-5 Seattle Center Fisher Pavilion. Adults $3.00 Is it Saturday yet??? I'm going crazy waiting! It's been a good month and a half since my last rock show, and I'm dying for more slabs and rough ! We've cut through nearly everything we have, except a big batch of warm springs agate and some obsidian, and I want more!!!  |

Oh, I totally forgot you were coming here after the show - - - there might be another one while you're here. I'll go home and check all the flyers I picked up while I was there and see what's coming up next in the area. I was surprised to find more little shows here and there scattered throughout the entire Fall season. Very happily surprised!

I will - I have all the flyers at home, so this evening I'll post the details of all the ones I found. One coming up in November is here in Kitsap County on a Saturday and Sunday, Nov 18 & 19 at the Kitsap County Fairgrounds. That's the only one I remember off the top of my head, so I'll check my flyer collection tonight |

That'd be sweet. I tried talking my wife into visiting that shop in Kent and she sorta shrugged me off. She likes shows a lot, so I hope there's one. It's has to be within bus-distance though.

I'm sorry ! I meant to do this last night and got distracted:
Gem Dealer Liquidation Sale featuring thousands of pounds - Lapidary rough & slabs
Sale Dates: Saturday, Sept 16th, Sunday Sept 17th 9:00 - 4:00 both days.
Sale Location: 7511 68th Ave NE
Marysville, WA
It says; "Brazilian Agate - Bruneau Jasper - Carnelian Agate - Dumortierite - Lapidary equipment (Facet, slab & trim saws, belt sander) Mexican Crazy Lace, and Coconuts - Montana Agate - Ochoco Tube Agate - Petrified Wood - Picture Jasper (Rocky Butte, Willow Creek) - Plume Agate (Amethyst Sage, Graveyard Point) - Septarian Nodules - Sheeps Bridge Sagenite - Slabs - St. Johns Flower Agate - Thunder Eggs - Turritella Agate and LOTS MORE. Buy the bucket, buy the pound, buy the piece.
*************** I believe you could take a bus or cab to that one. Google the address if you can and see how far away from where you'll be. If you think you might rent a car, there's also a Rock Hound's Garage Sale in Poulsbo on that weekend (which is where I'll be)

Man, those are going to be tough with out a car but I will look into a bus route to the Mary'sville one. Both sound like tons of fun. It seems like that area of Washington State is more into rocks and lapidary than most places.
Suddenly I wish we were renting a car, but then the trip would turn into a rock vacation, which is fine with me though Mrs. Rocklicker would probably not been keen on that. I am having a tough time convincing her to take a bus to Kent to go to Jerry's Rock and Gem. Thank you Liz for the info.
We are very exited about our vacation, which starts tomorrow! We are going to take a train to Vancouver for a day also. I'll probably check the board from the cell phone (tiny internet I like to call it) at some point if anyone has any other suggestions.
