January 1, 2014 Plan ahead for 48th Annual QIA Pow Wow Come one; come all to see a great show! Hours are 9am-5pm. Free parking and free admission, located right in the middle of town! There are 538 spaces with 70 spaces inside, 43 under cover and 419 outside. Approximately 300 vendors selling 75% rock related materials. They are full at the present time. Three home-cooked meals are served daily. One vendor even said he came more for the meals than the selling. Quartzsite Roadrunner Gem and Mineral Club takes 2 free field trips each day. They hunt for agates, jaspers, rhyolite, desert roses, fossils, etc. The Gem and Mineral Club also has demonstrations on the use of lapidary equipment. Come look for all kinds of material; unset stones, gold and silver jewelry, rock hound equipment, and rough stone to use with your equipment.
