Rockin㽶Ƶֱ weekend at Kelowna Curling Club for Gem and Mineral Show

It㽶Ƶֱs estimated more than 2,000 people attended the event

CanGems was back in Kelowna June 16-18 with rock and gem vendors from across B.C. and Alberta.

Melissa Robak, CEO of Silver Cove, the company that owns CanGems, said there was just under 50 vendors that took over the Kelowna Curling Club for the weekend.

㽶ƵֱIt㽶Ƶֱs been super well attended this year㽶Ƶֱ I would say opening night alone I think we had about 600 people through,㽶Ƶֱ Robak said, estimating the entire weekend saw over 2,000 attendees.

This was the second year CanGems hosted the event.

㽶ƵֱWe used to come to Kelowna as the Rock and Gem, so with Silver Cove we used to come and fill all the spaces. We really wanted the opportunity to share that with all of the amazing vendors that we see everyday. That㽶Ƶֱs why we flipped this into a CanGems event. Silver Cove is still here, but we just take a much smaller part.㽶Ƶֱ

From necklaces and rings to home decor and singing bowls there was something for everyone.

㽶ƵֱWe㽶Ƶֱve always loved coming to this area. So many amazing people are here, so many crystal collectors and designers and everything in between.㽶Ƶֱ
