Details
The show will include vendors from across the state selling Colorado dug minerals. Items for sale will include polished gems, hand-crafted jewelry, rough slabs, specimens, cabochons, geodes, Cripple Creek turquoise, and more. There will also be gold and gem panning at the Victor Lowell Thomas Museum. Show hours are from 9 to 5 Friday and Saturday and 9-4 on Sunday.
A geologist from Newmont CC&V will make a presentation on the geology of the gold mining district. This free presentation will be held Saturday, June 18 at 1 p.m. at the Pinnacle Park Plaza on North Third St., Victor. The presentation is free but seating is limited.
June 18 and 19 you can experience Victor’s first ever Oddities Alley, a concurrent event of unique blend of vendors, food trucks, and live entertainment on Saturday night – see The Enigma live at the Victor Hotel. The Enigma is a bizarre show of original music, odd humor, and amazing stunts. This free show will provide extreme, wild, out of this world entertainment June 18. The Enigma has toured the world many times over performing at festivals, theaters, and rock venues of the US and opening for David Bowie. The event is sponsored by the Black Monarch Hotel in Victor. The show is based on circus and tattoo culture, which defines today's pop culture. Victor at one time had traveling circus shows; the most noted in 1904 when the Ringling Brothers was the featured attraction. They set up their “big top” at the corner of Fourth Street and Victor Avenue (in front of the Victor Hotel) and featured tight rope walkers over the avenue.
In addition, the Victor Lowell Thomas Museum gift shop will be open with its collection of rocks, gems, minerals, rhodochrosite and aquamarine jewelry, geodes and gold panning for kids of all ages. The museum also houses a mineral collection as well as historic mining equipment, photos, and historic oddities. In addition, guided tours of the mining district and the Sunnyside Cemetery are available through the museum that weekend – see VictorMuseum.com for reservations and information.
Victor’s many shops and attractions will also be open, including Victor’s Gold Camp Ag & Mining Museum, antique, art, and gift shops, the German bakery, the local bars and eateries, Phantom Canyon Coffee and Gifts, as well as the local parks and Trails of Gold where you can explore the outdoors in historic gold mining country.
The Gem & Mineral Show is sponsored by the STCFG with support from Newmont CC&V and the City of Victor.
