Junior Meetings

The MINI-MINE was a big hit with kids at the 2011 Che-Hanna Annual show

The next meeting.

Junior Rockhound News for Feb. 2012

 

The Junior Rockhounds will meet on Sunday, February 12, at the Athens United Methodist Church (118 S. Main) from 1 to 3 pm. We will be upstairs, next to the kitchen.

The program will be more mineral identification for the older kids.
The kids that still need to earn their Primitive Art merit badge will be working on that.
Also, an item for ArtFest is on the agenda.

Sandy Keener, our club’s gem tree specialist, found a neat button art for you to make.
I showed it to some of the juniors at Harlan Rowe and they thought it would be a fun project for everyone. You can make something to keep or something to sell.

Thanks Sandy! You have always been a great supporter of the Pebble Pups.

At our meeting in March we will be making more jewelry items to sell. We will be using clear glass cabochons over patterned paper, feathers, or other items and then set them into findings.

In March, we will also review the minerals that can be found in the mini-mine sand and complete the schedule for the show. Our show will be held on March 24 and 25.

 

At the January meeting at the Page Manor, we enjoy pizza and many treats, made rock critters and painted rocks. I have several boxes of the finished product under my bed.

If you would like, you can schedule a rock painting party at your house. We have primed rocks, a tub full of paints and brushes, glue on eyes and other decorating items.
Just contact me and we can make arrangements. 570-731-4396 or 607-425-7426.

I hope to see many of you at the February meeting.
