In case you weren't previously aware, the CGMA (Chicagoland Gem and Mineral Association) Show is this weekend May 25th and 26th, 2024 at the Kane County Fairgrounds. The theme this year is "Planet of the Rocks". It should be a great weekend, come on out an join the fun! Here's our announcement from about a month ago. And, check out the official website PlanetOfTheRocks.com.
To go along with that, we have some photos from the 2001 show. It's great to see some familiar... and younger faces! The 2001 show was held at the DuPage County Fairgrounds on May 26th - 28th, 2001. The theme that year was "Your Gem Odyssey".
