Thank you to the merchants of Nashville and Murfreesboro

On Saturday, June 16, more than six hundred visitors enjoyed the annual day of fun called the Prospector Gemboree at the Crater of Diamonds State Park.  The fun included games, a photo scavenger hunt, and a treasure hunt out on the diamond search area.  Local companies and merchants donated thousands of dollars in prizes to support the event.  The Crater of Diamonds staff and our visitors wish to thank the following companies and merchants for their generous contributions.
