The Lancaster County Fossil and Mineral Club will host its fifth annual Christmas in July Extravaganza on Saturday, July 24, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, July 25, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event will take place at the Farm and Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster. Those who attend will see unique fossils, trilobites, Paleozoic wonders, gems, jewelry, minerals, and crystals. There will also be free expert specimen analysis.

"This event brings back the person-to-person aspect of having interactive discourse again," said club founder Chris Haefner. "It's a relief already just knowing we can host a live show!"

Tickets for the show can be purchased on the day of the event inside the Farm and Home Center.

The Lancaster County Fossil and Mineral Club is a registered nonprofit organization that began in 2014. Its mission is to bring together local people who share an interest in geology and paleontology. The club has monthly meetings with presentations, and members go on local and out-of-state field trips. Additionally, the club helps scouts earn their merit loops and badges, and a few qualified members teach geology for free - often on a field trip to the Pequea Silver Mines. Proceeds from club membership and shows allow for building rental, insurance for members, field trip expenses, events for scouts, and more.
