The Love & Peace Project in its infancy: at the time it was about 12' in length.

The very first event where the Love & Peace Project could get exposure was the annual Gem Show at the South Florida Fairgrounds in West Palm Beach, organized and promoted by the Gem & Mineral Society of the Palm Beaches.

And what a success it was! The project grew by 35 beads or about 3'6".

A very big "Thank You" goes to the Show Chairman Jack Stamper, who made it possible for the Love & Peace Project to have a table there to display.
