We are nearing the end of our second volunteer shift at the annual Gem & Mineral Show here in Parrsboro. Yesterday our hands were never idle collecting admissions and fastening show bracelets to countless wrists. We are spending this afternoon at the back entrance as security back up which affords me the time to add a quick entry to the blog.
It’s our first year attending as volunteers and it is definitely worth being a part. What a fantastic show our little town is putting on for the 56th time! It all started with Eldon George. He put Parrsboro on the map as a rock hounder’s paradise!
I purchased a couple of fantastic resource books to add to my growing geological library, connected with friends and made new acquaintances. Best of all, I found a beautiful ammonite! It is a replacement for the one I lost some time ago. Ammonites are nature’s spirals and I have a weakness for spirals. 😊
I encourage anyone considering visiting Nova Scotia in August to plan stopping into the Gem & Mineral Show. The dates for 2024 are set! See you at the show August 16th – 18th, 2024!
Happy Sunday, everyone!
