EZ-Guide Quartzsite: Plan Your Trip TODAY!

Quartzsite has been described as a mini Tucson Gem Show - don't believe it.  This annual desert event has it's own personality!

The Quartzsite Shows start in November and continue through the middle of February!

The number one thing that separates Quartzsite from Tucson is the RV'ers...this is much more than a Rock Show!  Each January this sleepy little town of just under 4,000 becomes the "boon-docking capital of the West", welcoming over one million visitors annually.  Thousands of Snow Birds escaping colder climes make this an annual meet up - so there are Pow Wows - Swap Meets - Hobby Shows and RV Shows.

So start planning now!

The Quartzsite EZ-Guide is up at: http://xpopress.com/QZ-show-schedule.html

...and there is so much more to the info provided than show guides...
