Other shows in that area, such as the Chesapeake Gem and Mineral Society's show Memorial Day Weekend in Towson is loaded with good mineral dealers. The Gem Lapidary and Mineral Society of Montgomery County, MD also has a show in Gaithersburg in March, which attracts some good dealers.Jake Slaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10460126909756329202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601484528667898629.post-12398796881282400002009-08-04T18:03:06.195+01:002009-08-04T18:03:06.195+01:00Jake,

The only ones that we've been to recently that were exceptions were the ones at Franklin & Sterling Hill in Ogdensburg, New Jersey. They had a good number of mineral dealers, especially with local material.<br /><br />How does the show at the Howard County Fairgrounds usually go? Do they also suffer from a lack of mineral dealers? I'm in the process of moving from Long Island to Maryland, so I'm interested in how shows are here.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />RobertRobert M.noreply@blogger.com
