LMRA Rock, Flint, Gem and Mineral Show
Each year in October Lockheed Martin's Recreational Facility hosts two large events at the same time: The Model Railroader's Show and the Pottery in the Park event which is a venue for selling pottery, stained glass, fused glass and many other crafted gifts. This year the Rockhound Club has been allocated a large area to set up in and to rent out to any vendors interested in setting up for the October 9th and 10th show. Last year we had over 3,000 visitors. Attendance is free. We will be renting vendor areas with your choice of a 10' x 10' covered pavilion or a 15' x 15' uncovered grassy area (see attachment for details). Please note the attachment is the same document in three different formats. Hopefully one works for you. A map and photos of the pavilions and park are at:
