Day two, set up day at the Main show. Dealers, volunteers, gawkers and guests, exhibitors all gather for putting the main event together. Jim and I were asked to exhibit at the show, being given the old Keith Proctor case, and promised the use of it each year.

All these people get together and make the show a success each year. We appreciate all the effort that goes into a major gem and mineral show.

Set up day is fun in that the camaraderie is there. The teasing, the jokes, the stories all make it so much less stressful. These are the people who make the shows interesting, that take the time to share their museum's highlights, or their self collected beauties, or their odd minerals. All of which is for the entertainment of those that attend the show. Thank you to everyone for your efforts!
Jim and I love sharing the joy of minerals as well.

Day Three. Am up super early and finishing the day two report. We go to the show as it is open to the public today. Jim is doing a talk on tourmalines and the SMMP meeting is also today. I expect I will be loading photos late tonight as usual, come back and visit!

What a day! We had a grand time talking about our minerals, chatting with old friends, meeting new. Jim's talk about tourmalines was well received. So, let's get started for Friday of the Main show!
