Just found out from the Asheville club president that the show will be happening 15 & 16 of february. Anyone going? I will probably go, I won't be having any trees in the show since all of mine are pretty dormant.

Looks like noone is going to the show, noone from the Asheville club is going. Anyone ever been down there?

I wish I'd known about this show sooner. I've exhausted my family's tolerance for my travel lately, and knoxville's a ways away from here. I hope someone goes and reports back.

@Adair M Hopefully I'll see you there. I don't have a tree in the show but I'll be supporting the club.

We still have 5 slots open. Cost is $50. This is bring your own trees."
I believe the spots are already filled but you might be able to get a hold of our president before Saturday to check.
I know there will be a few tree vendors and one or two pot be

Just talked to our president. There are still spots open, so if you want to participate in the workshop, come on down. Just bring $50 and your tree. And be there before 1230.

Won't be doing the workshop, but looking forward to the show tomorrow! Staying with in laws in oak ridge tonight and will be there when the doors open tomorrow. Looking forward to meeting some other nuts.
The show opens at 10am for the public. Exhibitors can come in at 8 am, to set up. My tree(s) are already set up.

Just got back from the show. I think it is going really well and the trees are great. Unfortunately my cellphone pictures don't do them justice.
Also, I was shocked by the turnout and how fast the vendors were selling their stock. Hopefully that's a good sign for Southeast bonsai!

It was a good show. I was there too early to get great pics, the sun was pretty harsh. I enjoyed the displays and venue though. KBS did a good setup and I'll definitely come to the next one.

It was a good show and Asheville wasn't far at all it took me 1 hour 40 mins, all of my trees are heeled in and I don't want to break dormancy so I had nothing to bring to the workshop. I was disappointed there was no soil at the vendors, but I added a John Cole pot to my measly collection. I was a little disappointed that Adair brought the same tree he brought to Kannapolis. I was hoping to see something else from him , but as always he filled me with more sound advice in an hour than 200 hours of Nigel Saunders you tube marathons. Maybe one day he will have a you tube channel(crosses fingers). My favorite tree wasn't about the tree but more about paying homage to Nick Lenz. I don't know if that was the intention but i liked it nonetheless.

That last photos focus was crap, so I hope these look better from my camera:
