That sounds like a lot more than last year! Really cool. It would be awesome to see the show grow even larger over the years

I hope so Joe! Specially for those of us that love deciduous trees, it is the perfect opportunity to show off the beauty of your leafless trees. I love fall but winter may be my favorite season... at least for bonsai.

Many trees look their best during winter. Surprizingly, even pines!

I agree. There are many early signs that this show could really become a premier event. Great trees, great venue, great vendors, great people. The space is beautiful and has multiple floors so expansion upward would be easy! Shows that take place at Arboretums or Botanical Gardens have the benefit of a "built-in" crowd. This is a destination show and needs ads and word of mouth to continue to grow. Please tell your friends, bring folks and share on social media! Hope to see you there!

Everything is brought back down to scale.

I'm hoping to make it up there on Saturday. I have photos somewhere of the last 2 years. (I didn't make it to the first one.)

 

[Martin Sweeney]

My tridents that will be for sale at the Silhouette Show.

Good stuff Martin!!

 

[Lars Grimm]

Take a few photos to share if time permits.

Most definitely

I've been to the last 2 exhibits. Who makes the decision on trees that are excepted and how do you submit entries. Thinking I may try and submit a tree or two for display. I'll see how they look when the time comes. Though from previous shows my expectations would not be high. There have been some amazing trees.

 

[Adair M]

I believe all it takes is an email request to Steve. As far as I know it's first come first served. He suggests that exhibitors bring trees that look good in the winter.

Officially official... Ron Lang will be there with pots from the 2nd firing of his new gas kiln. #stoked

 

[Grant Hamby]

I'll be there! Stoked to meet some B-Nuts, ha!

And see cool trees.

And buy too many things...

I forgot I'm on call. If I don't make it, I hope someone will get lots of pictures.

 

[Adair M]

Prepped the trees for the Show this morning. I'll be showing my JBP and using a Shohin Trident ROR as an accent.

I'm sharing a table with my friend Curt Howard, who will be showing a Japanese Maple using a boxwood as an accent.

If you come to the show, please stop by and introduce yourself! It's always nice to put a face to the name!

Dav4 is coming to the show, even though he's waiting until next year to enter a tree.

Mach5 is scheduled to come, Hometeamrocker will be selling pots.

Bill Valalvanis will be there as usual, and I expect there will be many other infamous personalities as well!

I hope to see you this weekend!

 

[bwaynef]

Hopefully this is the last twist for me, but I'm planning on being there Saturday, ...hopefully in time for most of Owen's demo.

 

[Dav4]

Hmmm, no afternoon appointments today....

 

[Dav4]

Holy crap!!
