[Steppes] OT -- Gem & Mineral Show

[Liz]

What to do on a Sunday?  Go out to the Dallas Gem & Mineral Society Annual Show!
   
  There will be lots of vendors and demonstrations of various skills.  For more information, go to the web site for the show:
   
  http://www.dallasgemandmineral.org/Gem-Mineral-Fossil-Show.htm
   
  The web site also has a coupon for $1.00 off the admission ticket price.  It's being held at the Resistol Arena in Mesquite and will run from 10:00 to 5:00 on Sunday.
   
  And, since its November, you might find some unique gifts for your loved ones for Christmas.  If you haven't gone to one of these, they are great fun.  I like to watch them open the geodes.
   
  The Dallas Gem & Mineral Society is a non-profit organization and uses monies made from this show for their activities throughout the year.  Their goals are: "promoting knowledge and interest not just in the areas of rocks, minerals, fossils, lapidary art, metal-working, geology and related earth sciences; but also promoting fellowship and support to everyone who has an interest in these wonderful fields."
   
  And now, back to your regularly scheduled Sunday . . .
