Getting ready!

Vendors have been arriving and setting up all day today. It is a bit warm here, but hey! it is July in Eastern Oregon. The quilt show will be set up tonight....thank you volunteers! Anyway, things are lookin' great for the 2012 Thunderegg Days Festival...rocks and more!  Oh! we have an awesome rock display courtesy of members of the Owyhee Gem & Mineral Society. One display belonged to Joan Hooper, who passed away in May. Joan was one of our rock tour guides and a wonderful lady. We have a couple of her quilts in the quilt show. Looking forward to seeing you in Nyssa, the Thunderegg Capital of the World!
