Welcome to the Kalamazoo Geological & Mineral Society (KGMS)

2020 Kalamazoo Rock Tailgate

Saturday, September 19th from 10am to 2pm.

Located in the parking lot of St. Michael Lutheran Church at 7211 Oakland Drive, Portage, Michigan 49024

If you want to sell your rocks or rock related items, all you need to do is simply show up before 10am on Sept. 19th and someone will show you to your spot. Booths are available for a donation to the Kalamazoo Rock Club. All items sold must be rock or lapidary related. No crafts or other non- rock related items. There is no power available, sorry. This is just a setup and vend sort of event. In 2019 we had about 30 vendors and this year we expect it to be much larger. KGMS reserves the right to refuse or remove and vendor and attendee.

Please maintain 6ft while at the show and we recommend wearing a mask still.

If something changes with our show, due to Covid or any other reason, show updates or cancellations will be posted right here, only, so please check back here before you attend to make sure we can still have the event.

Rock & Gem show display cases

If you are setting up a club display at the Rock & Gem Show, we have included some information below to help you plan your display. Please note: you must provide your own lock and/or stands/risers for your display case. Risers should be .5" less in length than case to allow fabric or covering to push down the side.

The rough opening size of the KGMS show displays are as follows: 47" length, 20.5" deep and 22" high. The cases are lighted from the inside. Also, the case door on the front extends a little further out on the top than the bottom to reduce glare from lights outside the case.
