The big East Coast Show in Springfield, Mass would have been this weekend. Oh well, lemme check on a couple of local shows I also hit every year. Nope, both cancelled. Last chance for 2020 is a local show in November, currently undecided. Bah, humbug. www.mineralshowslld.com/eastcoast/

Yeah, ours near Burlington, Vt, would have been July 25, 26. We rented a new venue last year and it was a big success. We usually buy stuff for my mother's store, but alas. Tough for the dealers for sure.

Our club show in March was cancelled, as was our annual picnic, monthly meetings, rock sales and Smithies. Monthly general meetings and board meetings all went to Zoom.

The biggest shows in our area are in Franklin NC and Spruce Pine NC - all cancelled. Local club show is a non-starter. Our local State Fair (no rocks) in Columbia will be drive-thru only. Not sure how that will be. Can't get a car on a ferris wheel. They haven't worked out any details yet. This year's rock show will be at the bottom of our board in the "For Sale" section or else on Ebay.

I hadn't heard officially that the CGMS show was cancelled (yet), although we haven't met since February, and I fully expect it will be. It's a shame, I was really looking forward to going to it! If you hear of any other decent ones in the area, let me know. I still need to find some more used equipment.

There are a lot of folks that depend on the extra income from sales at the rock shows that are surely hurting right now. Hopefully they have managed to get some internet sales going.
