Thank you for coming to the 51st Annual Parade of Gems show!

YOU’LL FIND:

• LOTS OF VENDORS — offering finished jewelry, gemstones, minerals, fossils, crystals, jewelry making supplies and everything in between
• KIDS FUN WITH ROCKS — "Bea's Kidz Digs".....Kids will choose rocks, find out where they're from and learn to hunt on their own!
• DEMONSTRATIONS -- Our club members will be demonstrating skills used to shape & finish stones, as well as various jewelry-making techniques
• SILENT AUCTION -- You’ll have the opportunity to bid on lots of items, from finished/unfinished gemstones to finished jewelry
• GIVE-A-WAYS -- Keep your ticket stubs, because we’ll have several drawings during the show and you can win wonderful items each day! You'll also have an opportunity to win our Grand Prize, a beautiful one-of-a-kind handmade piece of fine jewelry created by one of our members.!
• CLUB MEMBERSHIP TABLE -- Stop by our table to get further information about our club or speak to any of the people wearing the orange vests or club badges.  Check out examples of things you can learn to make in our classes (at prices you can't find cheaper anyplace).
• MEMBER'S COMPETITION PIECES -- Club members' competition pieces will be on display.

NOTE: Through our Parade of Gems we are able to provide scholarships for college students studying Earth Sciences. Help us to help them, while enjoying a great show with opportunities to buy gifts, lapidary materials and beading materials as well.

POTENTIAL VENDORS: In order to provide the best show possible for the public, we strive to be selective but fair to all who are interested in participating. Therefore, we can only consider vendors who fill out our vendor request form. Upon receipt of your form the show chairman will contact you to discuss space availability.  2024 Vendor Spaces are now SOLD OUT.

Below are a sample of items you'll find at the show.....and sooooo much more!
