Elko Mining Expo and Salt Lake Gem Faire

I just found out today about the Elko Mining Expo. Now I want to go. It is on June 7-8, 2012 in Elko. I'm going to ask my cousin if he wants to go and I have another person that said he wouldn't mind going either. The week after that is the Gem Faire at the South Towne Exposition Center June 15-17, 2012 and I have three free passes. I will likely try to follow up on some gemstone prospecting. I will also look for opportunities to sell any gems that I may find. I will also check into the faceting of gemstones. Sounds like a lot of opportunity and fun.
