Probably no other rock club in the Pacific Nortwest (or perhaps anywhere else in the country) offers access to the number and quality of lapidary machines, silversmithing equipment, casting equipment, and other jewelry-making tools at the low prices that the CCGMS does.
We're able to do this because we subsidize the regular expenses of running such a sophisticated operation through the revenues we realize from our annual rock show. Held each October in the Carroll C. Kendall Unit of the Boys & Girls Club of the North Olympic Peninsula (Sequim, WA), this show is our one key money-making event of the year. We spare no efforts to make it the best it can be.

Vendors typically offer a wide range of gemstone beads
|
Outside vendors from all over the Pacific Northwest, and some as far away as the east coast and southwest, come to our show for three days over the the first weekend in October. The variety and quality of unique vendor products are unsurpassed within a hundred-mile radius.
