I'm wondering why there was no banner posted on the home page? I'm taking the day off on Friday to make a run down there.

So who's going?
I'm hoping to see a good vendor section this year.....got a few bucks to spend....had so many losses this past winter, I'm itching for a new tree.....will be selective though.
Can always count on Meehan's to bring a load of trees.
I'm hoping to be there tomorrow morning, they open it at 10am.....I'm an early bird.
Weather is looking good!

I'm at the show right now. Not as many vendors as last year. They are down on the grass under a tent by the herb garden. Seems like many vendors showed up late as they are still setting up.

I think Saturday and Sunday are usually the best days for vendors. Sunday, some may say, is best because prices may be cheapest, I think Saturday is best because by Sunday, maybe Slim Pickens.

How are the trees on display?

In the vendors area some starter material and some worked on available. Superfly is here with quite a bit of equipment. Not many pots. Seems like last year was more. Maybe more vendors will show up for the weekend? I took the day off work to swing by.
Breaking for lunch at the moment. Still need to glance over the association's trees.

I went for a few hours on Saturday. Vendor area was just OK this year. Superfly Bonsai is definitely the go to guy these days for just about anything. I picked up a couple of vintage Don Gould pots, but didn't get any trees. you have to get to this show (and just about every other show) the first day. That's when the good stuff is there. It sells VERY quickly. I arrived Saturday at 9:30 I missed getting a couple of pretty nice sized Ume by minutes. One guy bought all of them, except for the $900 one that was well on its way to becoming a bonsai 
I didn't take many photos unfortunately. Here are a couple of the displays at the exhibit entrance and courtyard

Did you vote for a People's Choice?
I picked #10 there, that chunky Hornbeam is so cool.

When I was there on Friday there was a guy that arrived I'm guessing late with some trees and a stand trying to squeeze it amongst the rest of the trees inside the building.
Do you all know of any other upcoming shows in the near by area?

Didn't see the Meehan BCs. Must have been sold by the time I got there.
I'd bet that plastic wolf got the People's Choice...

You were there before me...maybe they kept them hidden.
