What gift do you buy for the person who has everything? The Lancaster County Fossil and Mineral Club (LCFMC) has some ideas. The nonprofit group’s annual Christmas in July Extravaganza will be held Saturday, July 26, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, July 27, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Farm and Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster. There will be a charge for admission, and only cash will be accepted. Tickets purchased on July 26 will be valid for Sunday as well. Parking will be free. The venue is air-conditioned and handicapped-accessible. Food vendor Throwing Bull Tribe will sell items such as hamburgers, hot dogs, beef barbecue sandwiches, and ice cream. Part of the proceeds from food sales will be donated to the Pennsylvania Dutch Council Scouting America camps. Sue Garrett, the LCFMC ’s children’s education coordinator, noted that it will be a family-friendly event. People can add to their collections or buy presents for others by visiting the more than 90 vendor booths, where items including jewelry are made from minerals, fossils, and crystals. “People can also have an educational experience by speaking with the vendors and also in our tour room for children,” Sue added. On the days of the event, Sue will be a greeter at the Adventures in Geology Family Learning Center
