Quartzite POW WOW Rock Show Rocking!
What made Quartzsite the snowbird Mecca of the west coast? Rockhounds! Folks selling rocks off the tailgates of their pickup trucks started it all, and it really got "official" 41 years ago when the Quartzsite Pow Wow Gem and Mineral Show took off. Today marked the official opening of the 41st annual Pow Wow--and you can emphasize the WOW part. The show t
akes place at the Quartzsite Improvement Association (QIA) building. Hundreds of exhibitors are set up. Rocks, minerals, and gems of every shape, color, and description line the tables. Tools for turning the ordinary into the extraordinary. Gold panning and metal detecting "how tos" and plenty of handshaking "how dos." The show runs daily from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm from today through the 28th. 
There’s plenty of free parking a couple of blocks east of the QIA site, and a tractor pulled jitney ferries foot weary troops to and from the big shoe.
