Show My Way - The Annual Calgary Gem and Mineral Show

In the second week of October, we go to Calgary for our second time of the year for the Calgary Rock and Gem Show located in the Stampede Park, which is also the home for Calgary Flames! The views on the highway are completely different then the one on April. The only thing they share is that they both are awesome views. We have been through Autumn and Winter when we cross the Rocky Mountain. It is good that we have winter tires on, otherwise we would be in trouble.

Surprisingly, the weather is very nice in Calgary. It has not got any snow yet.

Mark is joining us for the show this time so it boosts the sales by quite a lot because he can set stones on our findings for free for our lovely customers so they do not need to worry about going to some local jewellery stores to make them set. The sales is good but not as good as we expected considering Calgary is one of our best markets. We think it is because we have not participated in this show for few years and customers did not know we are coming. We are confident that our sales will grow next year.

 
Once the show is done, we are on our way to Richmond for the next show - the Port Moody rock and gem show!
Going back home!
 
Finally, we would like to show you some of the fantastic pieces done by Mark.
