Saturday, August 15, 2026 - Today the club hosted our 2nd Annual Show and Tell at the
Tates Creek Library in Lexington, KY. It was a well attended family friendly event and we
shared our love for gem and mineral collecting.
Something new this year was David K and his geode cracker. Everyone loved the
surprise of being the first people to see INSIDE these geodes.
