2021 Sublette County Rock Hounds
President’s Letter 2021
I would like to thank AMFMS and RMFMS for this opportunity to host the 2021 conventions in Big Piney, Wyoming in the heart of Sublette County. The Sublette County Rock Hounds (SCRH) are honored to be selected to serve the Federations in this way! Additionally, I would like to express my appreciation for all who have helped make this event a success; it takes many people contributing their ideas, expertise, and energy to put a project together. There have been many individuals involved from AMFMS, RMFMS, WSMGS, and SCRH – thank you to each one of you! Our club and I are excited that the convention will be in western Wyoming this year, and we believe attendance will be good and many people will learn more about the organizations that support rock hounding, geology, and the lapidary arts. During the show we believe all who participate will experience first-hand the benefits of joining our clubs through the activities designed to inform and entertain at all levels of knowledge in the fields of geology and lapidary, from novice to expert. We expect that those who travel from other areas to attend the convention will be pleasantly surprised by our friendly people, comfortable accommodations, fresh air, and amazing outdoor recreation opportunities. The convention at the Sublette County Fairgrounds is conveniently located near other towns, tourist destinations, rock hunting, fishing, museums, Fossil Butte National Monument, Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, and major airports. Wyoming is a great place to explore, and we hope you enjoy your visit and find some wonderful rocks! We look forward to seeing you at our show. Jim Gray SCRH President & Show Chairman
