Portland Gem & Mineral Show

We have many members in Oregon State who have been hoping for more events to display their work and talk about rocks... HERE's YOUR CHANCE! NWSSA plans to host a booth at the Portland Region Gem & Mineral Show running from October 6-8th.

We need volunteers to help host our booth, talk to fellow stone enthusiasts about the tools we use, where we find our cool stones and how we carve them! Member Ian Madin has generously offered to help organize, but we need more volunteers. Setup is October 5th, and the show runs October 6 and 7 from 10-6 and Sunday the 8th from 10-5, with cleanup Sunday evening.
