Rock Club Picnic 2011

Sunday October 8th was the annual Freeport Area Rock Club Picnic.  It was held at Dar & Tom's house right outside of Freeport Il.  We all had a great time, lots of laughing and storytelling, more storytelling, and a lot more laughing!  As you can see, it was quite the spread.  Everyone brought a dish to pass and everything was delicious.

 Those who are creative brought their jewelry and crafts to show off and/or sell, and these things will also be brought to the annual Fossil, Mineral, Rock and Gem Show at Highland Community College on November 12th and 13th 2011.

Art Dawson is a wizard working with silver and cabs, and he will set your favorite gemstones, or sell you one of his beautiful creations.

 Geodes were cracked and some real beauties were opened up.      

You can't find a more friendly bunch of people who enjoy having a great interest in what the Earth produces, and the lovely creations they make from the treasures that come from within this planet.

Hope to see you all at the Rock show in November, and if you would like to join The Northwest IL Rock Club, you will find the information on the right hand side of this page, or just show up for a meeting!

A day to remember.
