Lake George Gem and Mineral Show

      This Show has taken place since 1999 and this year the show will be Friday August 18 through Sunday August 20. The show location is on US 24 just east of the Lake George Post Office. Entry and parking is free to the public. Net proceeds after expenses from the show are used for donations of college scholarships to Park/Teller County students and for supporting volunteer college student summer interns at the Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument.
     The LGGMC mains a booth near the entrance to give mineral specimens to kids and to try to help the public with rock, mineral and fossil identification. Our club has an emphasis on educating adults and kids about earth science and is a Non-Profit corporation. We do have a formal youth education program.
     We open to the public at 9 AM and close to the public at 5 PM. We advertise and support the other events in the Lake George area the same weekend: the Tractor Pull, the Lake George County Library Book Sale and the Volunteer Fire Department Saturday night fundraising spaghetti dinner.
