GPAA to host 20 Gold & Treasure Shows in 2012
 The Gold Prospectors Association of America will more than double the number of Gold & Treasure Shows on its nationwide tour in 2012.
GPAA Event Manager Amber White said the theme of next year’s shows will be education and returning to our roots.
One way for the GPAA to reach out to members is by holding more Gold & Treasure Shows in more locations. The shows are designed to teach people how to prospect, an outdoor activity they can enjoy with their friends and families, and introduce them to the kinship of the GPAA community.
“This year we had nine shows and next year we are stepping up to 20,” White said.
“Some of them were high demand places that our chapters really pushed for and the local chapters did much of the legwork. We have our select few that we do every year, such as Pomona, Mesa, Puyallup and Las Vegas, but other locations were selected based on the high demand.”
