[IBC] Looooong weekend
The show weekend is always a long one.
While I think we all agreed the trees weren't as nice as in years past, the show as a whole was a success. We had a pretty good attendance by the un-informed public -- and (hopefully) they went away a bit better informed. At least 5 of them went off with application forms for joining the TBS (for you folks in Toronto, that's the Tallahassee Bonsai Society ;-). The neatest thing is that two of them were at or under 13! The 13-year old had just gone out and bought himself the Simon and Schuster bonsai book. He plopped down THREE dollars for THREE raffle tickets and then won a very nice, locally made bonsai pot, AND a medium-priced set of bonsai tools! Watch out for this kid! The other youngster was 10 years old and ask a lot of very good questions. Both said they'd join the club. (I won a nice shohin juniper that Ben Oki had styled earlier this year -- but I bought a considerable number more than three tickets. ;-) Anyway, a good time was had by all -- until next spring.
