- **Event Description**: The Hellgate Mineral Society joins with the Historical Museum at Fort Missoula to celebrate the 2026 4th of July with our annual Tailgate Sale. This is a FREE event open to the public. 

DATE: July 4, 2026
TIME: 10:00am - 3:00pm
LOCATION: Ft. Missoula, near the Fire Tower.

This family friendly event is designed to introduce kids and adults to the fun and fascinating hobby of rock, mineral, and fossil collecting. (Many vendors will have free "samples" for the kids while supplies last.)

Why a "Tailgate Sale"? Because club members line up their trucks and cars, open their tailgates, or set out a table, and shares their passion with visitors.

Club members will have rocks and minerals priced for the beginning collector with many under $10 and will be available to "talk rocks" with current and future rockhounds.

This is a perfect time to pick up a "Made in Montana" gift from one of our laidary artists. 

The Hellgate Mineral Society also has a kid's club that is part of the Future Rockhounds of America program. Kids age 8-18 learn about all aspects of Earth Science while earning badges,  patches, and pins along with qualifying for annual scholarships.
