56th Annual Opal Show

The AOS annual Opal, Gem and Jewelry Show is coming up! The date is October 24-25 at the Velvet Rose Event Center in Orange off the 55 FWY. Our Sponsors are in and vendors of opals, gems, minerals, lapidary, equipment and more are signing in. Tickets are on sale at the venue or through Eventbrite. $5 adults and kids 15 and under are free. Students also get in free with proof of student ID. Parking is free and plentiful. Tickets purchased through Eventbrite will receive THREE total prize tickets at admission instead of one with regular in-person admission. Vendors, members and guests have donated numerous prizes and gifts. Grand prize is a custom piece donated by master jeweler Stan McCall of Custom Creations. Attendance isn’t necessary to win but legible name and contact info on your submitted ticket is needed. Drawing will take place at 4pm on Sunday and guests don’t have to be there to win so long as drawn tickets are legible. Absent winners will be contacted and their prize delivered separately. Patio will have geode cutters, gold panning, non-profit groups and more vendors. The Opal Show scavenger hunt is available for all participants with a small bag of rough opals upon completion (while supplies last). Sergio’s food truck will be available at the venue entrance.
