September 6-7, 2014 - Aki Matsuri Festival

Summary of Aki Matsuri: We had another successful weekend at the Aki Matsuri festival.  People were backed up waiting to get into the display when it opened on Saturday morning and it was busy both days.  We had 9 students in the workshop and made over $1,000 between the workshop and bonsai sales.  We also signed up several new members.  The backdrops on loan from the Pacific Bonsai Museum (fomerly Pacific Rim Bonsai Collection) and the new navy blue tablecloths made the bonsai trees look their best.  Thanks to the setup and and take down teams, members who loaned their trees, stones and companion plants, the docents, Elsa, Howard and Sally who ran the workshop and especially to Lynn who did a fantastic job organizing the event.
