Mid-Atlantic Bonsai Societies
@ Holiday Inn Harrisburg-Hershey
604 Station Road, Grantville, PA 17028
The annual MABS Spring Festival commenced on Friday evening, April 19 and continued through Sunday afternoon, April 21. Renowned professional bonsai artists presented lectured/ demonstrated, conducted workshops, and critiqued the bonsai in show.
Registrants had weekend-long opportunities to observe and spend time with the artists at breakout sessions between demonstrations, and to view the MABS member clubs’ Bonsai Exhibit. In addition, a wide range of bonsai vendors were on site offering a large selection of bonsai, bonsai-related plants, containers, tools, books and other supplies.
There were eight bonsai demonstrations. Each bonsai creation was raffled following the completion of styling by its respective artist. There were also silent auctions and a very active live auction of donated bonsai materials at the Saturday night banquet.
