[Rockhounds] Cottonwood, Arizona Gem & Mineral Show

[RCasmier at aol.com]

Hey, I hadn't heard of Cottonwood either until I moved to Lake Montezuma,  AZ 
which is about 20 miles away. 
Interesting area. 
 
Have neighbors who live in Phoenix area in the winter and here in the  summer 
(you'll understand why when the temperature in mid-June at 1030PM is 80  
degrees here and 101 in Phoenix. Then there are others who live here in the  
winter and in the Flagstaff area in the summer. I think there is a city code  that 
demands all snow, if any, must melt before noon.
 
The Mingus Gem and Mineral Club conducts meetings every month except July  
and August. Except for the March meeting, all other meetings include a guest  
speaker. Some have come from as far away as Tucson and Bagdad. Refreshments  
(just short of a full meal) are served at every meeting. Normally 80-90+ are at  
every meeting. Christmas dinner meeting two years ago was catered.
 
Last year the club offer 19 field trips between September and June. The  club 
has a workshop that is open and manned 6 days a week.
 
There are appx 50 vendors on the show wait-list. Current vendors come from  
Jerome, Sedona, Tucson, Greater Phoenix area, Bowie, Prescott, Idaho and  
California. Dinner provided for vendors after set-up on Thursday.
 
Any rockhound attending the show gets in free if they are wearing their  club 
badge to the show. In addition, the club web site has a coupon for 6 free  
raffle tickets (a $5 value). Raffles are every hour. Raffle tickets can  be 
deposited for any hourly raffle during the show. Need not be present to  win.
 
Small town. Active club. BIG SHOW.

Great!

But who ever heard of Cottonwood, AZ??? Hmmm, Verde  Valley, that's either 
south or north of Tucson, or somewheres or other.?  Cottonwood must not be a 
really big metropolis (like Bisbee or Tombstone or  Patagonia).

Cheers and have a great show, wherever dear old Cottonwood  is!
(Please, not making fun of you, just having fun with  this!)
