Celebrate 25 Years of Bonsai in Texas
April 20 - 22, 2007 Dallas, Texas
We are very pleased to host the twenty-fifth anniversary of Texas bonsai
conventions here in Dallas. We hope to make it a very enjoyable and educational
event and have invited not just one, but three nationally and internationally
known bonsai professionals - Marco Invernizzi, Boon Manakitivipart and Suthin
Sukosolvisit. With this type of artist power, we needed to locate material
for them to be able to really show off their talent and we feel confident
that we have stepped up to bat on this as well. We also will be pleased to
host Michael Hagedorn on his American debut after his return from a three
year apprenticeship in Japan under Shinji Suzuki. Local talent also includes
Shane Cary, Howard and Sylvia Smith, and John Miller.
We plan to put together a memorable, high quality semi-formal display, including
a special bonsai pot section as well as suiseki. Our bonsai display chairman
always gives 110% and puts together a show that not only displays individual
trees at their best but also as a whole flows together as one. Our headliners
will be judging the trees and awards will be given. We are also expecting
an unusually broad group of vendors that will tempt you to wreak havoc with
your checkbook with fantastic trees (finished, collected, large field grown,
etc...), as well as that tool you've been looking for, one of a kind pots,
the perfect bonsai workstation turntables, supplies, and of course suiseki.
The hotel is only 2 minutes from Love Field Airport via complimentary shuttle.
And for those spouses that just haven't caught the bonsai bug, world class
shopping and dining is only minutes away.
