[Rockhounds] GILSUM, NH mineral & fossil show and sale this weekend

[Nielsen, Peter]

All - this weekend is the Gilsum, NH annual Rock and Mineral Show.  The show is sponspred by the Gilsum school district and attracts 55+ dealers from across New England and New York.  There is no entry fee - a donation for parking is all that is asked.  The Keene Mineral Club supports the show, but does not run it or benefit from it.
 
I have been a participant for the past 22 years, the last 10 as a dealer.  While many dealers feature New England and adjacent Canadian  Provice material, others have specimens from world-wide locations.  I have an extensive inventory from material I obtained from Spain and Morocco when the dollar was much stronger.  I have not "inflated" my prices to reflect replacement costs.
 
The show runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.  Look for signs advertising the show (with directions) on Rte 9/10 in SW NH just east of Keene.
 
If you are in an area within 3 hours of Keene, NH, and are interested in viewing or purchasing fine mineral and fossil specimens, I encourage you to visit the show.
