Rockin91Ƶ weekend at Kelowna Curling Club for Gem and Mineral Show

It91Ƶs 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.

91ƵIt91Ƶs been super well attended this year91Ƶ I would say opening night alone I think we had about 600 people through,91Ƶ Robak said, estimating the entire weekend saw over 2,000 attendees.

This was the second year CanGems hosted the event.

91ƵWe 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. That91Ƶs why we flipped this into a CanGems event. Silver Cove is still here, but we just take a much smaller part.91Ƶ

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

91ƵWe91Ƶve always loved coming to this area. So many amazing people are here, so many crystal collectors and designers and everything in between.91Ƶ
