Time Lapse of the Gem Show

 

Rendezvous 2024 - Armstrong

Nine club members attended Rendezvous 2024, hosted by the Vernon Club in Armstrong. Some interesting finds and visits. The weather wasn't the greatest, but the worst downpours were short lived.

Field Trips 

 Picture stone site, before the storm hit.

The field trips are about the hunt, but if you want to spend money, there was lots of variety.

Club Display Cases:

This display case was set up by our club member Jodie - some of her finds, and lapidary work.

Vendors:

Linda Zepik

Kelowna Rock and Gem

Fluorescent Rock

Rock Auction

Jade Carving

There was a talented jade carver demonstrating some amazing work - unfortunately I didn't get any photos.
