Prairie Meteorite Search in Vegreville
On August 12 I had my meteorite collection on display at the Vegreville Regional Museum along with specimens brought by Michael Wamsteeker, the 2004 searcher for the Prairie Meteorite Search. Unfortunately, no NEW meteorites were brought in but one man brought a fairly large piece of the Bruderheim meteorite which his father found shortly after the fall.
