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.
