Events

Come on out for our Open House Event. We will be providing BBQ. Please bring a side-dish, drink, or dessert to share. We'd love it if you brought some of your work (metalsmithing and/or lapidary) to show and tell.

Vista Gem and Mineral Society is teaming up with CoLab Public House Again to bring you a great event and a perfect opportunity to buy gifts for your rock lovers or a little something for yourself and support your favorite small businesses. VGMS will have geodes for sale and we will cut them for you. We will also have an amazing silent auction for a chance to bid on one of the vendors’ beautiful creations. All proceeds go to support VGMS and our School. There will be Gem, Mineral, and Jewelry Vendors and CoLab has a winery, a distillery, a kombucha place, a brewery and an awesome restaurant. There will be Live Music at 6pm so when you finish shopping the gem show you can sit, listen to music and have dinner. Hope to see you all out there.
