A rock show with a rock band. Today begins a different kind of gem and mineral show here at The Market at Towne’s End, Apple Valley, CA. The show is Friday and Saturday. Each day ends with a concert: dueling pianos Friday evening and a traditional rock band Saturday evening. We will continue to show at the Farmers Market on Sunday, here at the same venue. Activities for children are planned and we will be cutting geodes.

The show is FREE and you can stay or come back for the music (for a fee) in the evening. There will be a food truck and a beverage bar and more.

Hope to see you here.

The Eastern Sierras host some of the most spectacular scenery and outdoor activities in all of the United States. A familiar road trip up US 395 will bring us to Bishop, California for one of the largest mule events in all the world. We settle in for the Inyo Council for the Arts show held in Bishop city park. Most of the shows that we do are hosted by non-profit groups that raise money for local needs. The Inyo Council for the Arts supports arts in the Eastern Sierra area. Hope to see you there.

A window to the world is presented to us at each show that we display. I am a people watcher and enjoy the interaction between people and especially their children. Most are polite, cheerful inquisitive and interact delightfully with their parents and with us. This weekend will be no exception. Spring Jamboree in Boulder City draws a huge crowd and it will be a lot of fun. In addition to the arts and crafts there will be music, food and an antique mall. And of course we will be there. The stained glass art above demonstrates Sherry’s use of pewter and minerals, together with the stained glass. Some see unique one of a kind pieces by a truly gifted artist.
