It might be fun to try growing some from seed, but get something else. You'll die
from impatience waiting for a specimen to be ready for it's first bonsai pot.

Billy's suggestion about an upcoming fair is an excellent one and I'd urge you to
follow up. Sounds like a great opportunity. You can talk to vendors, see what is
good for a first tree in your area, etc.
