Tucson launches mobile site for 2012 gem show

Saturday, thousands of visitors will descend on Tucson for the start of the 2012 Tucson Gem, Mineral and Fossil Showcase. The show seems to grow each year and with that more pressure is on the city to put on a good show for vendors and visitors.

The city is pulling out all the stops to make it a success. Gem show vendors are still setting up their space for the big rush in two days. “A lot of dealers work very hard in getting more people here every year we have we’ve been doing it for a long time but we have about I would say about a 10% increase a year,” said Jay Gehring with Village Originals.
