Exposol is more than just a gem and mineral show. It is also a regional outlet for various business interests and a source of entertainment for the locals. Besides the gem and mineral booths, there are expos of various products you might expect to find in a county fair... tractors, horses, animal feed, musical acts, and of course lots of great junk food. Instead of a corny dog you can get a grilled beef/sausage/chicken heart sandwich, a Swiss crepe filled with cheese or some other filling, or chocolate covered strawberries on a stick.
As a major regional event, it is a place to see and be seen. The mineral buyers come early and get out of the way before Saturday when the commotion starts. On Saturday the governor of the state Mrs. Yeda Crusius came (in the second picture). She shook hands, kissed babies, and posed for pictures with the important business and political "bosses," as well as the queen and princesses of the fair.
