Annual Earth Treasure Show Returns to Pajarito Lodge This Weekend

The Los Alamos Geological Society will host its 56th Annual Earth Treasure Show on Saturday December 6 and Sunday December 7 at Pajarito Masonic Lodge number 66, located at 1400 N. Sage Loop. The show will run Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will feature dealers displays and activities related to rocks minerals and fossils for hobbyists and families.

Organizers say the event is a long running local tradition that brings together collectors educators and local dealers. For residents the show offers a chance to inspect specimens learn about local geology and engage with the volunteer organizations that sustain this event. The gathering also creates a modest economic boost for nearby businesses when attendees visit restaurants shops and service providers in town.

As a civic institution the Los Alamos Geological Society demonstrates sustained volunteer capacity with a multi decade history of producing public programming. Events such as this one illustrate how community groups use non governmental venues to provide informal science education and family oriented recreation. The use of Pajarito Masonic Lodge number 66 for the show highlights collaboration between local nonprofit organizations and community spaces.

For county leaders and municipal planners the recurring presence of public events raises questions about infrastructure support and planning for venue availability parking and public safety staffing during peak weekends. Ensuring that community groups can continue to stage long running events affects civic engagement quality and local cultural life.

Residents and visitors planning to attend should note the stated hours and location, and expect dealers displays and hands on activities related to rocks minerals and fossils. The show provides an accessible opportunity to learn about geology connect with local collectors and support community organized educational programming.
