Ishpeming, MI – August 3, 2018 – The annual tradition that is the U.P. Gem and Mineral Show returned for its 43rd consecutive year on Saturday at the Elks Club in Ishpeming.

All in all, this historic event is one that is looked forward to every year, and for good reason. Joe Duckworth was live on the air telling you all about the goings-on.
