LOCAL A4 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM WEDNESDAY, MAY 8, 2019 Rock show showcases nature’s treasures By TAMMY MALGESINI COMMUNITY EDITOR Anyone who digs rocks and gems won’t want to miss the 2019 Rock & Gem Show organized by the Hatrock- hounds Gem & Mineral Society. Nature’s Treasures Under Foot is Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at East- ern Oregon Trade and Event Center, 1705 Airport Road, Hermiston. The admission fee is $3. Ages 12 and under are free if accompanied by an adult. The event features deal- ers, showcases of special collections, demonstrations, silent auctions and hourly door prizes. A Kids’ Corner offers special activities, dis- plays and games geared for the younger crowd. Also, on Mother’s Day, all moms are eligible for additional door prize drawings held every 30 minutes. Mike Filarski, who is the show’s chairman, said the move to EOTEC last year provided extra space for vendors. In addition, it has resulted in increased parking for those attending the show. Some of the demonstra- tions lined up include sphere making, how to create gem trees and wire-wrapping jew- elry. Filarski said there might be several others as well. Also, Filarski encourages people to be sure and check out the silent auction. Items are regularly rotated in, offer- ing people a chance to pick up a variety of rocks, gems and jewelry at good prices. The local gem and min- eral club meets the second Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. at the First Chris- tian Church, 775 W. High- land Ave., Hermiston. Those attending need to enter through the back of the building. “Anyone that’s interested in rocks is invited to come to one of our meetings as a guest to see if they like us and what we do,” Filarski said. In addition to the short business portion of the meet- ings, Filarski said the gather- ings focus more on activities and sharing their interest in rocks and gems. “We always do something that’s related to rocks,” he said. “Sometimes members provide a demonstration or we might have a show-and- tell about rocks people have found.” During the summer months several day trip out- ings are planned. In addition, some members plan over- night fi eld trips. Also, they sometimes hold social gath- erings and picnics. The club is open to all ages, including beginning to advanced rock hounds. The annual dues is $12 for indi- viduals, $20 for couples or $25 for a family.
