I worked all day helping setting the
GSBF Convention 2003 here in Fresno, starting this morning by loading the largest U-Haul truck we could get with all the display podiums.
The vendor area is to-die-for. I have been going to this convention for 20 years, and I have missed only one. I have never seen this much great material in one spot in all my bonsai years. I think someone has been hiding this stuff, cause the stuff in Sacramento last year was not that good. Pics to follow...
Matt don't miss this one! The display will be set tomorrow, and I will get some pics. Guess which display is front and center right in front of the waterfall in the lobby?
The workshop material is wonderful, and if you are taking a workshop this weekend, you will leave with a wonderful tree.
Walter arrives tomorrow. I can hardly wait to talk to him.
All you Californians don't miss this one, this is shaping up to be a convention that will be talked about for years
UPDATE: At the last minute, Harry decided that he would like to have his tree in the prestigious spot under the waterfall. So... I got bumped to a spot in the middle of the room, (actually better since my small trees are near the docent area and can be watched all weekend).
Anyway, who am I to argue with Harry Hirao?
