GRAND MARAIS ROCK AND MINERAL SHOW
About Us
The Grand Maria’s Rock and Mineral Show was established in Grand Marais in 2019, after the Muskallunge Lake State Park rock show was discontinued. The event has since evolved from strictly being a Lake Superior Agate show to include dealers selling rocks and minerals from all over the world, as well as others selling mineral art and jewelry. A new management structure has been set up to organize and conduct the show. Karen Brzys continues to serve as chairperson and will handle dealer contracts and payments and other marketing/management/logistic issues. Bill and Angela Kuhn will set up and manage the inside booths during the show. Joyce and Gary Charron will set up and manage the outside booths. Our hard working managers and volunteers are what make this show possible. Thank you everyone for your hard work!
NOTE: The Lutheran Church will have a pancake breakfast fundraiser on Saturday morning from 8:30 - 11:00am. The church is located two blocks west of the show venue across the street from Woodland Park Campground.
Rock Show Facilities and Events
UPDATES
This year the Grand Marais Rock and Mineral Show will take place the weekend after Labor Day — September 7-8th. For several reasons, we will not have a keynote speech and dinner this year on Saturday night.
--The Lutheran Church will also have a pancake breakfast fundraiser on Saturday morning from 8:30 - 11:00am. The church is located west of the show venue across the street from Woodland Park Campground.
--VOLUNTEERS NEEDED We are in need of volunteers during the show to help with working the show entry desk, silent auction, walking security, clean up during and after the show, and more. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact us at grandmaraisrockshow@gmail.com.
--SHOW ENTRANCES AND EXITS Like last year, attendees will be able to pay their entrance fee and enter the show through the main gate at the south end of the pole barn. Attendees will also be able to enter through the east gate to enter the show. The entrance fee is $3.00 for attendees 13 and older; kids 12 and under are free.
--PLEASE DO NOT USE THE INDOOR TOILETS At our first show in 2019, we completely overwhelmed the very fragile septic system at the community center. The bathroom facility is not designed to handle such a large crowd. There are ports-potties and hand sanitizing stations outside on the show's grounds. Please use these or walk over to the flush toilets in the campground located west of the community center complex. The indoor toilets in the community center building are reserved for show personnel and individuals with special needs.
--FOOD TRUCKS Food trucks will be set up in the grassy area behind the community center and next to the east gate. The food trucks will be accessible to show attendees as well as to the general public since they are being situated in an area outside of the ball field fence.
--MUSIC We are waiting to hear if the muscian can entertain us this year during the afternoons on Saturday (and maybe Sunday), from the stage behind the pole barn. This will be easy listening, background music to enhance the ambience.
