The Rock River Valley Gem and Mineral Society is hosting the annual “Gem, Mineral, and Fossil Open House” on April 4th from 10-3. 

The location is:

North Suburban Library
6340 N 2nd St
Loves Park, IL 61111

This fun and educational activity is free and open to the public.

Members of the society will display their collections of rocks, minerals, and fossils for the public to view and learn about.  There will be games and activities for kids with prizes!

Children can pick a geode for their own collection!  We’ll even crack it open to expose the hidden crystals.  Please bring any rocks, minerals, or fossils that you want identified.

There will be door prizes for kids of all ages (even adults).
