Springfield Rock & Gem Fair Spring
Every year, we hold a Gem Fair on the grounds of the Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Springfield, MO.
This started as a rock swap between members, morphed into a public sale of members’ crafts, and finally became a miniature show. Vendors selling rocks, minerals, gems, fossils, unique jewelry, used lapidary equipment, etc., set up outdoors on the church grounds. The fair is held the 1st weekend in June (June 7-8, 2024). Please get in touch with Mark Northrup or use our contact form to let us know if you want a booth. $60 for 12’x12′ space (up to 2 spaces).
