We originally thought of Aug 8-9 to fill a gap here between July 4 and Labor Day. This does not appear good in the sea glass world, though.
So we are now considering Labor Day for a 3 day event. That is a huge weekend here with Paul Bunyon Days (lumberjack competitions and events), The gem and mineral show and a slew of other things as well.
Please let me know if you might be interested for either this year or next. I know we sort of just popped this out there for this year. We thought primarily West Coast artists might be interested. There are also several artists right in this area.
There is a possiblity that if we have a small number of artists that we can hold it right on the Glass Beach Museum property. That would considerably lower costs and entry fees. In fact, for a small event we might have no fees at all.
The main business here will not be sea glass enthusiasts, but general tourists. A location like this is often to much of a trek for other enthusuiasts who are closer to other shows, like Santa Cruz. But my things are very popular with the tourists because a lot of them come here simply for Glass Beach, and most others end up going there.
If the shows succeed, we can expect more enthusiasts to make the trek.
So is this year a possiblity for some of you? And who might want to schedule it in next year?

“Your site made me so happy tonight! Why?
Many happy memories swirled back into my mind when I saw your pictures. I spent my childhood on the beaches of Cape Cod and we spent many happy hours looking
for sea glass.”

“Hi David and Lin.
Love your sea glass web site. I enjoy your picture of the month and intend on winning at least once.
I have been collecting and creating things from sea glass for over twenty years. I find my sea glass on the beautiful shores of Lake Erie in Cleveland Ohio.
Thank you for sharing your treasures with me.” Yours truly,

“Just wanted to let you know (since you were so helpful) that I won a blue ribbon (1st place) in Gifford Middle School Science Fair in the category of Environmental Science with my topic - Effect of a Florida Tidal Inlet on Wrack Line Sea Glass Volume.
Now, I will compete in the Regional Science Fair which will take place on Feb 2nd. My mom and dad and I had a lot of fun searching for sea glass.
Thanks,”
