South Sound Gem Opal and Mineral Show (Puyallup Rock Show) Report

Hosted by Rich Russell

At the invitation of Rich Russell, member (treasurer) of the Cascade Mineralogical Society and volunteer for the South Sound Gem Opal and Mineral Show a bunch of PSK members attended and spent  Friday through Sunday demonstrating and teaching flintknapping.

It was both a busy and rewarding show – lots of people, young and old, tried their hand at flintknapping.  Even more kids received a point if they stopped by and showed any interest – and there were lots of points given away!  Not too many photos - just to busy knapping!
