The club hosts an annual gem and mineral show each year the first weekend in June. This year the show will be held from June 5th - June 7th. I have attached a link to the flyer, which is in a .pdf format.

Hours are Friday, June 5th, Noon to 6 pm - Saturday, June 6th, 10 am - 6 pm - Sunday, June 7th, 11 am - 4 pm.

Location is the Fruitland Grange Hall in Puyallup, WA

We will have a host of activities that include vendors, exhibits, demonstrators, raffle prizes, silent auction, and several activities for the kids.

Vendors will be selling everything from rough rock and mineral specimens to finished jewelry and rock/mineral display pieces.

Demonstrators will be showing all the lastest lapidary techniques in Opal cutting and polishing, Cabbing, Intarsia, Gem Tree design, Faceting, Precious Metal Clay, Beading and Fossil prep.

A club member will be on hand to answer questions about where to go to dig for your own rocks and minerals in the state of Washington and the various field trips our club offers.

A snack bar will be on location for those wishing to spend the day with us. Food is great and reasonably priced.

Raffle prizes in the past have ranged from a tumbler to finished jewelry items and mineral specimens. Most all items have been donated by the club members or vendors at the show.

All proceeds from the show benefit the club and it's scholarship fund.
