Shamalama Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Hmmm.... wonder if I can get time off enough to go to the show and collect along the way. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

Shamalama Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Road Trip!!! Oh, snarge, I can't. Dang the necessity of work. Not sure I could spare the space for a passenger anyways! I plan to haul a lot of fossils back. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

Oh, I'd want my truck since it would carry way more fossils/rocks then your Prius... and my passenger seat is already taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caleb Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Only one week left! The unique thing about this show is that it's ONLY fossils. No gems, no minerals, no artifacts, just fossils and fossil related items. Here's a couple pictures from last years show: Floor Shot Our table (mmm, ripe olives) Display case Caleb Midwestpaleo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caleb Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 What's that bum with the grey hair doing at your table? That's just some drifter who passes by every year. Always seems to make off with all our money too . Caleb Midwestpaleo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteseer Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I went there twice in the mid-90's. They were fun shows and I met a few people I had been trading with including fossilselachian. Angus Stydens was there at least one of the shows too. I can't go this year again so I hope someone who does go gives us a detailed report afterward.

matt cable Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I'll be there on Saturday. I missed last year, so I'm itching for Friday to come quickly. It's about an 8 hour drive for me, but totally worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymig Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I will be there Any one willing to drive a few miles away there is a great lil hotel in Roseville, IL. The lil old lady that runs it makes it like a B&B almost! I always stay at the Pineapple Inn thats in the town of Macomb. Its a real nice B&B and their prices are very reasonable and you get a fantastic breakfast in the am. Have fun! mikey Many times I've wondered how much there is to know. led zeppelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
