Rocking Tulsa Gem Faire Is A Wrap!

I captured these images the final day of the 2012 Tulsa Gem Faire.

North side of the sprawling Tulsa Rock & Mineral Society booth. Their wonderful spirit and large presence helped not only make this is a better show than otherwise but also got our customers in the mood.

South side of the expansive Tulsa Rock & Mineral Society. They helped educate the crowd which is something we always strive to do at every show so it was nice to see somebody else fight the good fight against scientific ignorance.

The Tulsa Rock & Mineral Society set up some wonderful displays. It was refreshing seeing some new things given that some of the items on display were not the sort of thing we commonly see in California.

Rocks & Relics booth rocked and rolled all weekend long.

The club display cases contained some marvelous collections including great regional fossil collection at right.

Today the booth was consistently rocking and rolling.

TRMS-member Larry Wagle just might be my favorite Oklahoman I've ever met.

Another TRMS member who fits that bill is Virgil Richards.

The ductwork of this building in which we did the show this weekend.

I find the patterns of the ducts strangely soothing and yet eye-catching---I'm weird that way!
