The Orton Geological Museum was represented with students from Ohio State's School of Earth Sciences, who demonstrated an exciting set of exhibits. From left to right, Connor Hopps, Hannah McCoy, Hayden Martin, and Johnny Kube show off minerals and rocks used in Minecraft. A total of 324 people visited the Orton Museum tent. Thanks to Connor, Hannah, Hayden, and Johnny for all their enthusiasm and expertise, and thanks to everyone who visited WestFest this year. Hope to see you back again in 2026!
