Calling all rock lovers! Join us at BARN for a community-wide swap and shop featuring rocks of all shapes and sizes. 

Peruse vendor tables where artists and rockhounds trade or sell rough rock, slabs, cabs, minerals, fossils, lapidary supplies, tools, and other rock-related items.

If you have cool rocks you’d like to give away to other enthusiasts, bring them downstairs to the Community Swap Table to share! While you’re there, pick up something interesting to take home with you or give to another cool rock lover in your life.

Don’t forget to take a break from shopping and swapping to join a live lapidary demonstration in BARN’s Jewelry & Fine Metals Studio. This is your chance to get a sneak peek at how to transform rough stones into pieces of art or jewelry.

Registration is required for this free event. Check in at the door to get your wristband; you’ll need it to enter the Great Room and the Live Demos.
