Annual Magic Valley Gem and Mineral Show Returns This Month

Living in Idaho, there are some incredible rocks in the area. As kids, we pick them up and throw them, but there is so much more to rocks, especially in the Magic Valley. You never know what kind of gem could be lying at your feet or potentially a volcanic rock even. They come in all shapes, sizes, materials and some can be very beautiful. If you love minerals, gems, rocks, and jewelry made from these materials, then there is an event for you coming this month.

Magic Valley Gem and Mineral Show Returns

The annual Magic Valley Gem and Mineral Show returns this year Saturday, March 12, and Sunday, March 13 at the Twin Falls County Fairgrounds in Filer. Saturday will be open from 10 AM to 5 PM and Sunday will be open from 10 AM until 4 PM. Tickets to get in will only be $2 for anyone twelve and older, while twelve and under will be completely free. There will be displays by Herrett’s Museum, Hagerman Fossil Beds, and the Magic Valley Gold Panning Club.

What to do at Gem and Mineral Show

While you may be thinking, "why should I go to a show of rocks," there is much more going on than that. There will be multiple dealers, door prizes, a silent auction, Wheel of Fortune, hands-on mineral tables, and something for the young and young at heart. This show will have a little bit of something for everyone, and you can't beat the price to get in. If you have little ones, this is a show you are going to want to take them to, as it will be fun for everyone.
