Two-Day Show In Two Pics

This weekend was the 1st Annual Autumn Cambria Gem, Mineral, & Jewelry Show. As previously mentioned in this space, we had to move our Cayucos rock show due to our former facility being condemned until structural weaknesses are repaired. The club elected to move up the highway to the Vets Hall in Cambria, CA. Immediately below was an image shot yesterday (Saturday).

As beautiful a location as Cayucos, CA, was for our show and as charming a venue as the Cayucos Vets Hall was for our show, the new home for the San Luis Obispo Gem & Mineral Club's Cambria, CA, reincarnation of the former Cayucos Gem, Mineral, Jewelry Show is even better in both practical and aesthetic terms. It has more square footage, more electrical capacity, easier ingress and egress from the structure, fewer restrictions on how we use the space,especially the external space, and the baseline income level of resident and tourist alike is higher.

This image I captured with my iPhone4 whose camera is not as good as that in more recent models, thus the lack of sharper focus in this image. However, it nonetheless conveys the great beauty in variety of colors and shapes and patterns of the stones in this Art of Stones display case at our show.
