Joe Noga and his helpers worked for three and a half days photographing every bonsai in the Exhibition. These professional, sharp and color-perfect photo- graphs will be used for the Commemorative Album which can now be pre-ordered at an attractive dis- count. Every bonsai in the Exhibition will appear in the Commemorative Album as well as general views.
The 5th U.S. National Bonsai Exhibition will be held on September 10-11, 2016. A new larger hotel will be providing complimentary shuttle service from the Greater Rochester Airport to the hotel as well as to the exhibition venue from the hotel. We have also selected a nearby party house, famous for delicious meals, which can easily sit over 500 people for the Award Banquet and Benefit Auction. The hotel will also provide a shuttle service to the Award Banquet and Benefit Auction on Saturday evening.
Start preparing your bonsai now. I look forward to welcoming everyone.
