Yes, it was fun!

Check out Katelin and Will's Delaware Mineral Show Page

Junior Members,

Thanks for your help in setting up, participating, and taking down our Show.

Many of you joined in with your Display Cases with our club's Show Theme: "50 States, 50 Minerals". The number '50' also relates to our 50th Anniversary as a club.

Included were:

  • Paula McCarter's with "Minerals"

  • Emma Barnes with "Fossils of Sulphur, Indiana"

  • The Simpkins boys had a hand in collecting for "Gems & Minerals from Around the United States"

               

 

Wow, we practically sold out all of our material from our Junior Booth this year! Time to gather up some more from club fieldtrips and donations.

Adult Members, when you high grade your collections, please think of the Juniors for our March 6-7, 2011 Show. (Don't worry, we have plenty of storage space.)
