Bonsai events in the mid west?

[Daniel son STL]

Hey everyone! Lookin like all the big events are happening on the east or west coast. Does anyone know of any big events happening anywhere in the middle?

Thanks

There was one last year in Collinsville IL. Other than that the closest would probably be up by Chicago, so not close.

“big” might be a relative term, but at least it’s in your state!

Yes I remember that one. I was in a wedding that weekend. Wanted to make it so bad.

I don’t know and I have not. I just saw it on the ‘Gram. I’m unable to make it. But I wish I could go.
