The Astronaut Trail Shell Club (email: corshell@cfl.rr.com) held their 30th Space Coast Seashell Festival on 16-17 January 2010. The theme for this year's shell show was "Pearly Shells." The theme was carried out in decorations and in entry categories for the festival. The Astronaut Trail Shell Club was founded in 1966 and uses the proceeds from the annual shell show to fund research grants. Because of poor attendance during the 2009 event, an extra push was made for publicity this year. Almost all of the members were involved in one way or another in promoting this year's event, where we had 25 dealers and 47 exhibitors. It was quite a crowd as we all gathered for doughnuts and coffee prior to the set up on Friday morning, waiting to see if the hard work getting the word out would pay off with increased attendance.
