Seven Utah clubs are expected ex-pected to participate in the displays and eight dealers will be showing their rocks and minerals to visitors. The event is perhaps Utah's finest collection under one roof of mineral items. The displays will include petrified pet-rified woo d, arrowheads, fossils, jewelry, bone and rocks of all kinds. The members of the, club have some fun activities planned for the show such as door prizes,, silent auction, grab bags, trade table and free slide shows. A field trip will be conducted both Saturday Satur-day and Sunday. The official program of the show contains an interesting account of the creation of the first "bola tie." Another gem in the program is a poem written by Frank Lemon entitled "The Scar."
