> For anyone who may be in the neighborhood this weekend, the Santa Barter 
> Faire is happening Friday 9/7 through Sunday. Santa is about 20 miles SE 
> of St. Maries, Idaho (about 60 miles SSE of Coeur D, Alene). Turn off Hwy 
> 3 at Tyson Creek Rd. and follow the signs. I may be there with minerals, 
> crystals, fossils and a bunch of yardsale-type items. There are usually a 
> number of other rock dealers (including a bunch of "New Age" types for 
> those who care.) Last year I bought a nice fish fossil (looks like 
> Kemmerer, Wyo. to me) marked down to $3. A dude by the name of Adam may be 
> walking around with a bag of Emerald Creek garnet for trade (he works at 
> the garnet mine - Emerald Crk., ID). And there are usually several other 
> mineral/crystal/fossil dealers amongst the crowd along with a weird 
> sellection of stuff for sale or trade. Admission, camping and dealer space 
> is free. Generators are not allowed, dogs must be leashed and campfires 
> must be contained.

> The Barter Faire (sorry about the spelling...that's what it's called) is a 
> 30 year-old tradition started by some old hippies. Free potluck on 
> Saturday night followed by music, drumming and swirly dancing. If you get 
> bored, head out to Fossil Bowl (about 15 miles) for leaf and occasional 
> fish/insect fossils. Unfortunately, Emerald Creek is closed for the season 
> after Labor Day. But you can still pan the creek.
