7th Annual South West International Boat Show

With over 200 vendors from custom grills to 100 ft yachts the 7th Annual South West International Boat Show was more than a show for boats it was a show for Summer Fun.

A vast "variety  of services and products for the boating and outdoor lifestyle, including fishing gear, engines, apparel and outdoor equipment, in addition to a full range of marine electronics, sailing gear, accessories and hardware from top industry names" are present, says a SWIBS Representative, as well as "Our seminar series, which cover topics from cruising with couples and families to digital communication technologies and marine electric propulsion and many more – there is something for everyone to learn at this year’s show. Just a few of the featured seminars will include: Visiting Mexico by Private boat-A Guide to entry requirements into Mexican Marinas; Women and Cruising; Sailing Made Easy-Beginning Sailing Techniques; Galveston Bay Fishing Tactics; Storm/Steering Drogues & Para-Anchors; How to Plan your Boats Energy Usage; Yacht, Cabin &Flotilla Charters Worldwide- Highlighting the Greek Islands; Cruising the Mediterranean and How to Buy a New or Used Yacht."

This year's show not only informed its guest in the sport of summer recreation it entertained as well with a fun packed weekend of events and entertainment. Spectators could relax with a refreshing beverage next to the Main Stage, participate in the Kids R/C remote controlled Powerboat Races or be amazed by Team HydroRockets "Blast Off" at the Boat Show Fly-board demos.

With all this fun in the sun, it is easy to see why the South West International Boat Show is a Bay Area favorite.

Clear Lake Gem & Mineral Society Annual Gem Show

Clear Lake Gem & Mineral Society Annual Gem Show

From Lunar Moon Rocks to Pre-historic fossils the Pasadena Convention Center was a geological dream. The Clear Lake Gem & Mineral Society Annual Gem Show shared the beauty of earth and beyond to a vast audience of all ages this March. With something for everyone to enjoy it's easy to see why this show has been going strong for 40 years. Displays and activities combined with an abundance of gem vendors gave families an up close look at the alluring charm of Earth's natural creations.

Founded 1974 in the Clear Lake Area of Houston, Texas the Clear Lake Gem & Mineral Society is a member of the American Federation of Mineralogical Societies & the South Central Federation of Mineral Societies with a mission to promote education and popular interest in the various earth sciences; in particular in those hobbies dealing with art of lapidaries and the science of minerals, fossils and their associated fields.

A CLGMS Member explains, "Besides our monthly meetings at which special programs on the Earth Sciences are presented, there are many activities that involve CLGMS members. We maintain an active role in helping the community by supplying books and periodicals that deal with Earth Science related matter to local libraries and schools. On request, members will give lectures and talks on Geology, Mineralogy, Faceting, Cabochon making and other related material. Always active, the club takes periodic field trips to collecting sites for rocks, minerals, and fossils. The CLGMS also helps our young people by awarding two $1,000 scholarships each year to worthy college students working in the field of Mineral Sciences".
