Pacific Bonsai Expo, October 26-27, 2024, Oakland, CA

[Eric Schrader]

Hi All - just a reminder that we're about two weeks away from the submission deadline. Thanks for your thoughts so far.
I really want to encourage folks to submit trees - we have a good selection so far, but not quite as many yet as we're hoping to have!
If you have transit/transport challenges for the trees but would otherwise want to submit reach out to Jonas, Andrew Robson or myself and we can work on pooling resources.
Here's a blurb from Jonas' newsletter:

Why participate in a regional event like the Expo?

• It’s a great way to learn how to prepare trees for exhibit
• It’s a great way to learn about display
• It’s a great opportunity to meet and learn from your peers

More than anything else, participating as an exhibitor in a regional event like the Expo is one of the best ways to support your bonsai community. Our jury members, Bjorn Bjorholm, David De Groot, Michael Hagedorn, Todd Schlafer, and Eric Schrader are looking forward to selecting the best possible trees for the exhibit. You can help them do this by sending photos of your work.

AND - accepted exhibitors get a free weekend pass with their table fee, and free admission to the Friday night reception. The exhibitors are the stars of the show!
