North Carolina EZ-Guide

During the spring and summer months, this annual 10,000-circulation publication covers the important, well-attended gem shows in Franklin, N.C. Five thousand guides are distributed at four concurrent Franklin gem shows in May — the Mother's Day Gemboree, Highlands Road Gem Show, Echo Valley Gem & Mineral Show, and the G&LW Wholesale Gem Show. These same four shows open again in July (along with a fifth show, the Faceter's Frolic), at which 5,000 more guides are distributed.
