Corinne More, Needles Gem and Mineral Club member, shows off some of the handcrafted items club members will be selling at the Peddlers' Fair this Saturday, Nov. 1. She is wearing an obsidian pendant wrapped in 14K gold; others are made with fire agate or petrified wood. More is also holding up a geode, mandela, and a wooden bead/tumbled stone necklace. Shoppers may pick out a geode and have it cut open for them at the booth. The annual fair will take place from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at St. John's Episcopal Church, 2020 J St. in Needles.
