“Al was taken to the hospital,” was the call from a friend, early Friday morning.  One of our fellow vendor and friend is now critical, but stable, after being airlifted to a hospital in Las Vegas. Violet was calling to request prayers.

This weekend we are in Pahrump, Nevada for their premiere gold, gem and mineral show.  More friends took over their booth at the show, others took his partner, Emma to the hospital, an hour away to spend the day with him.

We are like family and depend on and help each other. While we do this for fun, it is work. We are almost always far from home and lean on each other in times of need.

Next time you go to an event and see the vendor in his or her booth, smile and say hello.  That means as much to us as a sale.

The show runs through Sunday, here in Pahrump. We look forward to a busy weekend.  Please keep Al in your prayers.
