“Blazing the Trails Across Bancroft”

The Bancroft, Ontario area is called the “Mineral Capital of Canada”. It is famous for its great variety of minerals and the quality of mineral specimens found there due to the complex geology of the region that has produced mixtures of different rock types. Rockhounds from everywhere come to Bancroft and the specimens collected from the region are seen in museum displays all over the world, including the Smithsonian Institution. MMS Member and Show Dealer Chairman Bob Nowakowski will present a compilation of all his trips and experiences exploring for mineral treasures in Bancroft.

Coffee, tea, and hot chocolate, as well as cupcakes, cookies,
and other Sweet treats will be served after the talk!
