Gold Rush August 2011....history....

this is my Sunday Shot...of the booth...

Sadly....this is the End of the Year....at Gold Rush....{no more September Show}....so I said my 'Good-byes'...to my Minnesota Friends....and hope, they will come visit 'The Rabbit Hole'...before the snow flies...

I didn't get out, like I usually do, and get images of the show... but here are a few, from our row, in Graham North...

The Show was great!...and, once again....as only Gold Rush, does.... the Sunday Sales were Great!

It was wonderful having Laura {the rusty pumpkin} as my neighbor... I had so many compliments, on our building...from folks.....they kept saying how much fun they had there...{it's true...we do...have fun....} {oh dear}

This is Laura's booth...{the rusty pumpkin} PICKED CLEAN! She had a GREAT Show...and I am so happy for her! She works her little tail off!

This booth belongs to Cindy B. {smokehouse square antiques} She is amazing... works so hard, here at the show...than goes to the MAYO, and visits her Mother, who is having medical issues... she is a Wonderful Daughter....

Ahhh...Sweet Colleen.... She shares a booth with Daryl.... they always have Great Stuff!

New to Our Iowa Row....Barb and Dan Olmsted {park place hotel antiques, Marion, Iowa} {Cindy B. , left} They have a really great shop, in Marion...their booth always reflects, the store....I like that!}

Dan and Jo {jo-dan's} they have been my neighbor, since the beginning... here at Gold Rush...It's great to have good neighbors... always willing to lend a hand... and putting up with our 'production'....oh my....They deal in Top of the Line....Country, Advertising, Stoneware.... as well as Holiday...and more... they have an Amazing Following....
