FLAGG SHOW MAKES QUANTUM LEAP FOR 2002
By DARREL DODD

After 25 years of being the largest outdoor Gem & Mineral Show in the Phoenix area, Rockazona has called its quits. To fill this void we are expanding the Flagg Show to three days for the 2002 year. Several of us have polled the majority of the dealers at this years Rockazona Show and they are enthusiastic about doing a show on a lighted paved parking lot in a large metropolitan area for the same price or less than what they were paying. To keep our free parking and free admission policy we will need the help of all of our members to help promote and run this greatly expanded show!! This is a great opportunity to become the major outdoor Gem, Mineral & Fossil Show of the Phoenix area!!!! The show dates have been cleared with the Mesa Community College of January 4, 5, & 6 0f 2002. If you are interested in being involved in the planning of this exciting event please contact Ray Grant or Darrel Dodd.
