A Santa Barbara Gem Faire In A Santa Ana Wind

Here is a sampling of images from this weekend's Santa Barbara Gem Faire event held at the Earl Warren Showgrounds.We were fortunate that this weekend's Santa Ana Wind event did not adversely effect our show like it did some of the attendees to the show who were still without power today.

The nicest lady in the show; my friend Caroline Eddy.

A look deeper inside the vug.

Santa Ana Winds raked the sky clean over Santa Barbara giving the area gorgeous weather.

We were located as usual in Warren Hall which is this building.
