Pex Rex has been dated to be between 68 and 70 million years old and is famous because it is one of the most complete T-Rex skeletons ever found. There will also be lots of vendors at the show this year and artisans creating jewelry and demonstrations of how to carve stone and other lapidary techniques. And there’s a kid’s corner for the young ones .
