The Gem And Mineral Show<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our gem and mineral shows are held annually on the last weekend of March at the Pioneer Pavilion Community Center located at 2007 Cherry Street, Ferndale, WA, in front of Pioneer Park. Hours: Saturday 10-6, Sunday 10-5. Admission and parking are free. Pick up a door prize ticket as you enter. Check the announcements<\/strong> area at the bottom of the website for current information. View some images from a previous show below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Club members put together display cases to educate and amaze visitors to the show. We run various areas like the silent auction, kid’s spinning wheel, fluorescent mineral display, and “club sales”. The club sales area is where rocks are sold by the pound, or in trays marked with a price for anything in that tray. Commercial vendors of all things mineral (specimens, jewelry, tools, etc.) fill up the venue. A food truck may be parked outside the venue, and there may be an ATM machine in the pavilion. The club cannot handle credit cards so bring cash. The commercial vendors make their own sales and most do handle credit cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vendors may email the club for information about available space and terms. The club needs its members to help put on the show! There are many ways to help<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rockhound Rendezvous (RR)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dates for the autumn Rockhound Rendezvous September 26-27, 2026. It is usually held in September at Pioneer Pavilion Community Center, 2007 Cherry St, Ferndale WA. Check the announcements<\/strong> area at the bottom of the website for current information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Club members sell or swap their rocks, jewelry, tools, and other rock-related items. The public is invited to come shop. You’re sure to make a deal here. Sales will usually<\/em> be by cash and are made directly to the club member. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a member wishes to sell, the cost for a 10×10 space for both days is $50. Single day spaces are available for $30. Spaces are limited to two per family. The fee must be pre-paid in order to reserve your space(s). Payment may be made at club meetings or at the club’s store in Bellis Fair Mall. There is no food available for purchase so please bring a lunch.  You will need to bring your own table. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
