The All Rockhounds Pow Wow Club of America Inc.'s annual show, held at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds in Madras, Oregon, is an event you won't want to miss. There are plenty of activities for every age group, including rock tosses for the kid, nightly entertainment, and daily field trips to area agate beds. Please note that membership is required for the field trips. The club officials are great people to work with and do their best to make their show a memorable and pleasant experience for everyone.

Field trips are tentatively scheduled to the following beds in the Ashwood area: Friend Eggs (thundereggs with jewely-quality agate inside), Marston Wood Replacement (every piece is multi-colored), McDonald Wood (petrified, agatized, or opalized Meta Sequaya), Nartz Paulina Ridge Agate (ledge agate ranging in color from yellow to white, which may have poka-dots or denderites), Ochs' Pony Creek Eggs (most are filled with moss agate).
