Admission each day is $5 cash for adults. Children 12 and under are free.
This year’s show will feature over 25 vendors each showcasing a multitude of their specialty whether it be rocks, gems, museum quality crystals, fossils, mineral specimens (some that fluoresce under UV light), exquisite handcrafted jewelry made with precious and semi-precious stones, gemstone beads/supplies, and so much more. New this year are Crystal readings with vendor Area 51 and Tarot & Oracle readings with vendor StoneWear Creations.
The very popular Fluorescent Mineral Hunt for Kids 12 and under will take place Friday, August 28, at 8:00 pm. A short presentation by Geologist club member Dino Zack, University of Buffalo alumnus, precedes the “hunt for rocks that glow”. Children can borrow portable black lights to search for glowing minerals and keep what they find. The club will also be providing free “Mineral Kits for Kids” in the big tent out front of the Pavilion on both days of the show, Saturday and Sunday (while supplies last).
A guided Mineral Collecting Field Trip to Power’s Farm, Pierrepont, NY, known for black tourmaline and quartz crystals, is scheduled to leave the Pavilion at precisely 9:00 am on
