ALMOST TIME FOR THE GSM STATE FAIR BOOTH!
Anyone who has staffed the GSM State Fair Booth knows how much fun it is to share
our enthusiasm for geology with a broad cross‐section of society. Many of us were first
recruited to be GSM members at that booth, weren’t we?!
So, in the next couple of months, the Show and Exhibit Committee will recruit volun‐
teers for the 2012 GSM State Fair booth! We will need 72 people, each to work a 4‐hour
shift. The Fair starts on Thursday, August 23 and ends on Labor Day, September 3.
Each day is divided into three shifts, 9 AM to 1 PM, 1 PM to 5 PM, and 5 PM to 9 PM.
Young and old alike will show interest in our rock display, and we will have new items
to draw attention to the booth. Field trips and lectures will spark interest in students
and their parents, so we will have our Brochures and fall lecture schedules to hand out.
When people ask you a question at the booth, you can invite them to a lecture with
talks by experts. There are also books and other material to show them.
Even though it’s early in the year, this is a good time to get the shift you want
