GEM FEST 2008

ASHEVILLE GEM FEST
FRIDAY – SUNDAY, JUNE 13, 14 & 15
10 AM - 6 PM Friday & Saturday
11 AM - 5 PM Sunday

Visit Gem Fest for a feast for the eyes and the pocketbook, with a chance to buy jewelry, fossils, cut stones, oddities, natural curiosities and treasures from the geologic world! More than 20 dealers (click here for a list) will be here with tables filling all of Pack Place. Educational and fun kids' activities include cracking geodes and fluming in water (a favorite for all ages) for gem stones. The Colburn Earth Science Museum will also be open admission free all weekend, and their legendary silent auction will be back, bigger and better than ever, with all sorts of items from clothes to restaurant gift c ertificates to toys to jewelry and more. The silent auction is a great place to get a bargain and, like all of Gem Fest, it directly supports the education programs at the Colburn Earth Science Museum.

Bring the whole family for a weekend of fun!
