Anyone going to the show in Turlock this weekend? I'm ridiculously excited to attend. I've been to a couple of shows but now that I think about it, this is the first show I've been to since I got involved in lapidary. I started about the same time as covid. As a bonus, Lockeford Sausage is a food vendor there. When I bought my slab saw I drove through Lockeford 4 times at different times of day. Evertime there was a line around the corner of the building waiting to get in. They're open 7 days a week and there is almost always a line.

I'm thinking about it... I'll be driving thru Turlock on my way to Mariposa - the question will be what time will I be there.
OMG Lockeford Sausage is fantastic! I've waited in those lines a few times and it's worth it every time. It's hard to explain to people what a special place that is - they just kind of look at me like ... sausage is sausage. NOPE! haha

Looks like you got some good stuff. I went to the Kansas City Gem and Mineral show yesterday at the KCI Expo Center. Lots of vendors and thousands of people attend but I think I saw two vendors with unfinished slabs or rough and none of it impressed me. I am wondering if going to smaller shows where they don't charge vendors an arm and a leg is a better idea?
