Muskallonge Lake State Park is seeking vendors for its 2nd Annual "Rock On With Lake Superior Agates" event scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 19.
This is rock show dedicated to Lake Superior agate collectors and enthusiasts. Vendors interested in buying, selling, or trading their collections are welcome. Come out and view collections, show off your collections, and learn about Lake Superior agates.
"Many of our park guests have a special interest in Lake Superior agates. The park offers great access to Lake Superior for agate enthusiasts," said DNR Park Supervisor Jim Dzelak. "Last year's show was a great success. Although we already have vendors signing up for this event, we would like to expand this opportunity to agate collectors and build on this event every year."
Muskallonge Lake State Park is located at 30042 County Road 407, approximately 28 miles northwest of Newberry.
