This is Throwback Thursday #62. In these, we look back into the past at ESCONI specifically and Earth Science in general. If you have any contributions, (science, pictures, stories, etc ...), please sent them to esconi.info@gmail.com. Thanks!

For a long time, ESCONI has held the Gem, Mineral, and Fossil Show each spring in March. Quite often, a Flea Market was held in October. That practice stopped about 10 years ago, but we will be holding a similar event on October 9th, 2021. It's our slimmed down 2021 show... the Pandemic Edition.
Here are some pictures from the October 2nd, 1999 ESCONI Flea Market, which was held at the College of DuPage in the Student Resource Center.
This call for material to sell appeared in the September 1999 edition of the newsletter . In the old days, ESCONI members donated their excess material to be sold at the flea market... apparently cakes, cookies, and pies were also available. Hopefully, they weren't fossilized!
The Announcement was in September 1999 newsletter.
From the pictures below, it looks like a good time was had by all!
