Duluth Area Agate Fest and ‘Agate Hunter’ Beer Coming Soon

Lots of people in the Twin Ports area enjoy the hobby of agate hunting and/or crafting jewelry and other items from the polished, often colorful stones, and if that's not your thing, do you at least enjoy beer?

If you can relate to either or both of the above, then you should plan to check out the Gitchee Gumee Agate Fest & Agate Hunter Release Party, an event being organized by the Duluth MakerSpace and Ursa Minor Brewing.
