Vernon Rocks show hosted by the Vernon Lapidary & Mineral Club drew a steady crowd over the weekend to the Vernon Rec Centre.

All ages turned out for the weekend long show in the Dogwood Gym.

Gems, jewelry and everything that shines wowed those in attendance, who could also try their hand at panning for gold. There were even prizes to be won.
