Tyson Wells Enterprises in Quartzsite, Arizona was founded by Lloyd & Lavoun Dyer in 1977. It began with an open lot which a R.V. Park was developed and the Sell-A-Rama Show started in 1978. Soon Tyson Wells became World known as a leading Rock & Gem Show in the United States. Lloyd and Lavoun ran the business until 1995 then Lavoun’s son, Kym Scott, took over the business. Kym, a business Major from Fresno State University, gave new life to the business by acquiring new land for more parking, expanding by adding two more shows (Rock & Gem Show and Art & Craft Fair), built self-storage units, built two big building for indoor vendors, added a new seasonal selling lot, and most recently a new business office.
