Like our miraculous Miner metals, silver and gold, the peculiar, preternatural powers of Miners past and present were forged in the furnace of perseverance and persistence. Now, we’re calling on you to join hundreds of your fellow Miners in Rolla this fall to rediscover the source of your super power. The greater our numbers, the stronger our powers. Join us for a Homecoming of Heroic Proportions and come meet our heroes!
