Join us for a unique fall Sunday adventure!

𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐞
☕ 10:30am-12:30pm: Brunch at Newton's Paradise Cafe (128 East 4th St, Waterloo)
🚗 12:30-1:00pm: Finish eating & travel to BMC Raymond Quarry
🪨 1:00-3:00pm: BMC Annual Open House at Raymond Quarry (6900 Dubuque Rd, Waterloo)

At the quarry, we'll have the chance to tour the working quarry, collect rocks, minerals and fossils, explore geology and mining displays, and learn from organizations including the Iowa Geological Survey, UNI Earth Science Department, Black Hawk Gem & Mineral Club, and more.

The BMC Annual Open House is free and open to all ages. Food and beverages at Newton’s Paradise Cafe are purchased individually.

Come for brunch, the quarry, or both! As always, you don’t need to be vegan to join us. Anyone interested in plant-based living and connecting with locals in the Cedar Valley is welcome.
