The Rock, Fossil, Gem and Mineral Show was a Success!

The Northwest Illinois Rock Club 2012 Show was a great success thanks to the hard work of all of the vendors, the VietNow Veterans brat stand, guest speakers and club members.

(Thanks again to our Veterans who served us yet again on Veteran's Day)










This show wouldn't have been possible if the many people in our communities didn't come together to celebrate all that the Earth has to share with us.
