Hunt For More Than Just Eggs This Easter

This Easter weekend, you will find the lush rolling hills of Dayboro alive with color in more ways than one as the Annual Gemboree opens at the Dayboro Showgrounds.

Gem and mineral dealers from across the Southeast will be on hand at the Gemboree displaying and selling their products against the beautiful backdrop of the Dayboro Hills. In keeping with the family friendly theme, there will be a variety of interactive activities on offer for the whole family to enjoy, including a Thunder Egg Hunt, competitions, and a Sieving for Gemstones activity that will be sure to entertain the kids. This much-anticipated Gemboree will also feature numerous stalls that will include a variety of fine finished jewelry, rough and cut gems, lapidary equipment, minerals, fossils and collectibles, plus so much more.

Details on where to go to find these goodies—including where the registered fossicking fields are, along with the regulations on how to enjoy them—will also be available at the Gemboree. Rockhounds will have information tables on offer and local clubs will be there ready to answer any questions.
