SFMS Rockhound Roundup
Excerpted from the December HGMS newsletter
The 2nd annual SFMS Rockhound Roundup will be March 6th-8th in the Suwannee River Music Park in Live Oak, Florida. There will be an SFMS Social Friday evening, March 6th to foster interclub connections. The SFMS Executive Meeting will be Saturday evening, March 7th so that participants won’t have to choose between the Roundup or the Meeting.
All SFMS club members are encouraged to set up their own vendor booth at this event. There will be a minimum fee of $25 per booth. The fee will be used to cover all costs for amenities at the venue. If you have any questions, please call or text Jerri Heer, SFMS Secretary at 419-344-9999, or send email to her at Jheerx6@aol.com.
Member buyers, the only cost is the park admission fee. Member sellers, the cost is the vendor fee of $25 (per booth) plus the park admission fee. Sellers, you will also need to register for this event. Email your payment and your application to Jerri Heer by February 28th. To see the flyer, click SFMS Roundup Flyer.
