We want to encourage more residents and visitors to come downtown and see what a great place it is to shop and live.”

“The Rolling Stones Gem and Mineral Show is also happening Labor Day weekend at the Grant County Convention Center and goes on for three days, so there is plenty of time to do the downtown events and see the Gem and Mineral Show. It’s a great weekend to come to Silver City with so much to do.”
