$5
The Lakeside Gem & Mineral Club has plenty of rocks and more for the annual rock show to be held starting 10 a.m. Saturday and Sunday, April 20 – 21.
The public will find a large variety of gems, minerals and fossils on display and available for purchase at the show, which is the club’s 27th annual event.
The show will be held in Building #2 at the fairgrounds, a building almost double in size from previous shows. Admission is still $5 for adults and children under 14 free as long as they are accompanied by an adult.
There will be several demonstrations to show how to cut spheres out of solid rock, how to crack geodes and the art of jewelry making. There also will be a junior rockhounds corner where children can experience discovering precious treasures and win prizes.
This year will have 18 vendors offering for sale top quality mineral specimens, fossils, jewelry, beads, gemstones, and specialized equipment for cutting, polishing and displaying rocks.
The show also is educational in having about 40 displays provided by many club members and other collectors from Eastern Washington. There also will be a special fluorescent mineral display room.
