What a great news clip from last year's show, which includes an interview with Al Lang with Langs Fossils, a legend in the mining industry that we are so lucky to have AND LEDGend Minerals, the boys from Maine who are new to the game, yet masters of it all!

Annual Food Drive Alert! Win this Herkimer Diamond Cluster 🏆💎

We are at it again! We have teamed up with Adirondack Fine Minerals, LLC to provide you with the opportunity to win this amazing Herkimer Diamond Cluster! At a value of $700, this is a great win-win for someone! Simply bring in 4 of more items for our food drive to receive a ticket for this drawing! 🎟

We have donated a mass amount of food to our local shelter in the past two years and will continue to do so with our Annual food drive for as long as you all support it!

Some excellent things to think of when donating: Spices are utilized in cooking and hardly ever donated. Coffee is a great item! Cooking oil is beneficial! Sugar and flour can be used for a lot of baked items! Think about the kiddos and what they may enjoy also - like cake mixed for birthdays! 🎂 Please check the expiration date on items!

Drawing will take place Sunday the 20th at Adirondack Fine Minerals booth in the larve building. You do not need to be present to win!

Tag your friends and share this post to help this food drive be the largest yet! 💎💎💎
