MARCUS CIDERFEST
IT WAS A WONDERFUL FUN DAY VISITING WITH PEOPLE THAT PASSED BY THE BOOTH.
ALL FUNDS RECEIVED FROM THIS EVENT GO TO SUPPORT OUR SCHOLARSHIP FUND
GREAT TIME AND LOTS OF FUND AT THE CLUBS BOOTH WITH ALL THE HELP FROM MEMBERS.
We had a Raffle to giveaway “one trailer (similar to the one in the photo) load of Firewood to the WINNER” for $1.00
Gene Fisher one of our members Donated from trees on his property.
We had various pieces of rock items for sale that had been donated to the club from members collections.
We had lots of help from members coming during the day and volunteering to give everyone a break, but also to pickup on some special rocks deals that caught their eye.
Our Wheel of Rock was a big hit with not only the kids for $0.25 a spin, but also the adult kids.
Every Spin was guaranteed to be a winner!
It was such a big hit that we ended up running out of polished rocks before the day was over!

Field Trip to Jim Creek
We hiked up to Site #1 to see if we could find any Galena in White Marble Rocks with Jim Peters
Sheila Stratton at the bottom of Site #1 looking for the best spot to find Galena in the white crystalline marble.
Trail to Site #2 for Galena Samples was very difficult to reach from all debris blocking the path

Spreading Across
Bill Swartz leading a field trip.
As noted in the November Newsletter, local geologist, Bill Swartz, has hosted his last geology tour. Luckily, you can still take this tour yourself by downloading the road log for Spreading Across , the 2014 tour from Colville to Republic. We will miss Bill and his tours. You can read about the geology of Northeast Washington in the introductions to Geologic Atlases of Ferry, Stevens and Pend Oreille Counties.
