Over 5 years ago we took a son’s love for rocks, a mamas desire for a boy themed birthday party and used daddy’s ingenuity to create a one of a kind business. We took an idea and made it an experience for all ages to enjoy.
From our first event 5 years ago to now, we saw children light up with excitement over the treasures they found, we saw many repeat customers, shared the love of rocks with so many and reminded lots of people of memories from their past. We attended events, taught small groups, visited homeschool groups, public schools, celebrated birthday parties and participated in summer camps. It made our hearts happy to connect with our community all over something as simple as rocks.
We were able to hire and employ kids and give them their first working experience to earn money. We watched our son, impress people at a young age with his work ethic and knowledge of rocks.
It truly became a passion for our family in so many ways. Sadly last year we took a few big losses that were out of our control. From rained out events to cancelled events, to economic woes amongst patrons and even some needed repairs on our equipment. Our life has also changed drastically from Justin returning to a 60 hour work week, running our small farm and Calvin’s love for baseball.
After much discussion and prayers, we have decided it was time to close this chapter of our lives. We appreciate so many people that supported us and welcomed us into their lives. This decision is bittersweet and should the opportunity arise again, we will be back. But for now, we are officially closing down. Thank you for the last 5 years!
