NW IL Rock Club Picnic

June 30th 2012 was a beautiful day for a picnic.

The Northwest IL Rock Club was invited to Tom and Dar's place for the annual club picnic, we all would like to thank them once again for their hospitality.

Many of our rock club members had some amazing rocks, crystals, cabachons

and handcrafted items to buy, look at, and appreciate.

 

 You can find many of these things

and more  for sale at Art's Art,

and Rock-n-Jewelry by clicking on

the buttons on the right hand side of

this page.

Also you can purchase quite a bit

at our annual show at Highland

Community College in Nov.

(More info on this at a later date.)

There were folks from all ages at our picnic this

year, from the very young,

to the very young at heart!

You can be any age to be a

serious rock hound and

collector!

    

The meal was eaten inside an

air-conditioned porch, though there were

a few hardcore that chose to eat outside in the shade.

Everybody brought a dish to pass and there was plenty to go around.

Afterwards buckets of geodes were brought out and we got cracking!

It was a good time for all, and though it was oppressively hot, it didn't seem to bother anyone

overly much.

   There was plenty of room for the kids to run, and a great little tree swing to take turns on.

 We all had a very nice time.

Hope to see you at the next club meeting.

It will be Sept. 20th, 2012.
