On January
2nd, 2016, from 10 am to 3 pm, the Pebble Pups worked at the Family Exploration
Day event at the Western Museum of Mining and Industry. The museum is located in
northern Colorado Springs. The Pebble Pups worked in shifts during the day
where they lead the public on a geologic exploration of Colorado’s mineral and
mining heritage. Everyone gets to pan gold and met the two burro mascots Nugget
and Chism.
The museum
provided pizza for the Pebble Pups. Jenna Salvat, Jacob Janecek, Steven Marquez,
Ben Eilick, and Sabrina Morin worked at the event.
Large
numbers of families attended this event and met the Pebble Pups, making this an
excellent forum to recruit new Pebble Pups.
