The Main Event is one of the largest flea markets in Quartzsite. You find just about anything your…read moreheart desires. RV equipment, food, honey, hardware, kitchen goods, batteries, rocks, gems, jewelry, home decor and much, much more. Good deals on many items. Here is where you will see prices you remember before they increased. What a fun day to shop, browse, talk to the vendors and see lots of assorted things. Be prepared to walk so wear comfortable shoes, shades, sunblock and take a hat, which I forgot to do. You will be walking on loose gravel so watch your step. Free lot parking wherever you can find it.

I'll forever have a soft spot in my heart for the desert. Not just the AZ desert, but in nearly any…read moresmall desert community you can find some of the weirdest "Local Flavor" discoveries and meet the most interesting characters you'll ever meet. And Quartzsite is no different. In the 70s some hippies took a break from following The Dead around and journeyed out to see "The World's Biggest Rock Festival." Little did they know, that the kind of stones in store were more mineral and less rolling. *bah dump bump* (Thanks to Mr. Jensen for the joke I've used for going on 15 years.) And, since I know you love to hate the yelpers that just tell a long preamble story before they write a review, another gift for you is that this story is the only thing that came to mind when in the spring of 1999 a friend told me Beck was going to be playing in Indio. "Like INDIO, Indio? Is this another 'rock festival' joke? In any case, as a kid I always looked forward to the big PowWow weekend in January. I didn't realize at the time, or maybe it didn't happen at the time, but there are vendors here all winter long. There aren't as many as there used to be, but it's still worth a stop if you're into weird old stuff, including random musings by Canadian snowbirds. From November to February you'll find loads of snowbirds here selling things out in front of their RVs. What sorts of "things" you ask? Well, clearly, there are rocks. And if you like rocks or geodes or... well... quartz, this is the place for you, my friend. Personally I'm more about the aforementioned rolling variety of stones, what really gets me going at The Main Event is the antiques. SO MUCH OLD STUFF!!! Perhaps it's because I was blessed with an old lady's name, but god dammit, how I love me some old stuff. Old bottles. Old rollerskates. Old plates. Old tools. Old books. Old photos. Old lunchboxes. Old cookie jars. Aside from a select few vendors who are clearly out of their minds, the prices just stomp on the prices from your local vintage store or flea market. The selection.... well, you may have to hunt, but that's truly the fun of a place like Quartzsite. Bring some closed-toed shoes, cash, your haggling skills and some shopping bags and get ready for a shopping experience you won't soon forget.

Fortunately, I didn't waste a single dollar. Upon spending five minutes looking through rusted bolts and Furby figurines, I was greeted by the proprietor; a lovely older gentleman who launched into a vitriolic tirade about how "the cheap dirty Mexicans won't give nice white folks free food but Colonel Sanders always takes care of his own, the Orientals are moving into Silicone Valley, 30 people in a house, and destroying the economy, Hitler had to kill the greedy Jews because they wanted to charge upstanding citizens for moldy bread, and the hippies let their children play in the same grass they piss on". Stay classy.

If you are ever in the area do yourself a favor and stop by Dale's shop. What makes Dale's shop cool besides Dale being a nice person is that it is on the road to the Imperial Valley sand dunes (Glamis) if you are coming in from highway 10. This same road is also the way you could be driving to Quartzite from San Diego. Also this shop is near the Opal Hill fire agate mine and Hauser Geoge beds. My wife and I were celebrating our 12 wedding anniversary in true "rock hound" style and happened upon Dale's shop on a Sunday. There was an open sign facing the main street and on open gate. Dale gave us a nice welcome and is very informative about local rock, gems, and fossils and also local area's for collecting. The prices are very fair there. When we were leaving Dale pointed out his cactus garden that was in bloom which was nice.

Even 8 oz would be around 800. How is 40% of either 12 oz or 8 oz end up 233.00. Liars and crooks straight up nasty thieves.
