ESCONI 2001 SHOW SETUP

Bring in your case(s) and show us what you have. Displaying for the first time --it's not hard. What do you like the most in your collection? Display it and you might find someone else who likes the same thing.

FOOD. Who doesn't like to sit down at a show with something to drink and eat. Watch the people go by. Look and see a dealer or display case or peak at your purchases. Check and see how you can help. Baked goods are always a tasty treat.

TELL PEOPLE ABOUT YOUR HOBBY. We need people and kids to show and tell us how to do things. Do you paint, wire wrap, cut, carve rocks of any kind? Do you pound, melt, bend, roll or mix metals. People want to know. Can you string beads, knit wire, glue rocks for critters, characters or intarsia. Come demonstrate it!

HELP NEEDED. If you only have an hour or two we still need you. Come share, learn, enjoy with fellow rockhounds. There are many small jobs

Flowers	Help to sell. Set up and arrange on table. Water if necessary.
Skirting tables	Before the show - tape plastic skirts on table.
Silent Auction	Help put out items on table and collect money. help watch and explain
Live Auction	We need a loud voice and some one to stir the crowd to buy. Also - someone to hold the specimen and show it to the crowd. And - someone to hand out bid cards, write the item sold and to whom, and collect the money.
Borrowed Cases	If you have a display but no case of your own - we will have some borrowed cases. Contact Dave if you need one. Some one with a van and a strong back will be needed to transport the cases from storage to the show, and return to storage after the show.
