GPAA Gold & Treasure shows

A great way to pick up new equipment for prospecting and to learn the latest on all the new equipment developed through the years. Every year there is something new to see at these shows.
There is all kinds of events that go on all day, lots of prizes are given away and WOW just look at all the GOLD you can buy there. See, feel and touch the gold we seek as well as the art of Prospecting!!

Our Club Route 66 Gold Miners will be having a booth at the January and April GPAA shows and possibly the Phenix show in Arizona. The GPAA needs volunteer's to help set up the show on Friday before each show and need help to tear down the show Sunday nights. There will be light to heavy duty work depending on what you can help with on setup day. All volunteer's are welcome to participate in the set up of the GPAA show. By helping with the setup and tear down of the GPAA show our club will get big credits with the GPAA that will help out our clubs buying power at their store. We get a lot of our drawing gift from the points we make by helping the GPAA at these show so please conceder it. Wear your shirts at all times and tell them your chapter is Route 66 Gold Miners Inc.
Route 66 members who want to help out with our own booth, please contact me the Webmaster to give your name and time you can work each day and please be there no later then 8am for further setup to our both. Any Route 66 member who helps out with the set up please where your 66 shirts and if you plan to work our both Please where the new Black Long sleeve 66 shirts at all times.

Yes" we want to be seen!!

Thank You...Webmaster
