The Tampa Bay Mineral and Science Club will host its 5th Annual Spring Rock, Gem, and Jewelry Show on April 5th and 6th at the FL State Fairgrounds (4800 US Hwy 301, Tampa FL 33610), inside the Special Events Center. Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday the 5th, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday the 6th. Admission is $12 for adults, $10 for seniors and military (with ID), kids 12 and under FREE. Parking is free, when you enter through the MLK entrance, and tell them you are there for the Rock Show! We will have over 50 vendors offering an amazing assortment of unique slabs, cabochons, beads, gems, jewelry, and much more. If you collect, create, or just enjoy working with nature’s materials, this is the show for you. We have a kids’ section with a sluice, a touch table with rock identification, and a bean bag toss where kids (and adults) can win prizes. Learn how to make jewelry at the live in-person make-and-take classes. Kids can win a prize and test their mineral knowledge with a free scavenger hunt. This is an indoor event, so it is air conditioned. There is a concession stand serving lunch and refreshments, and a well stocked ATM out front. Enjoy the company of like minded people, and have a great time. Interested in being a vendor? Email the club at [email protected] for more information.
