Advance Sale tickets can be upgraded to the 2-day pass at the door for an additional $3 per ticket. Saturday only.

There are specimens for beginning and advanced collectors; beads to make your own necklaces, craft supplies, jewelry of all kinds, ethnic, antique or modern; geodes, and lights made of salt. You can buy a slice of a dinosaur tooth, or a fossil dinosaur bone. Our vendors have wonderful things from around the world.

Children’s activities like soapstone carving, mineral bingo, straw draw, and rock painting will be with mineral trivia and soapstone carving demonstrations for kids. Adult crafting tutorials/mini-workshops and instruction as well.
