2010 Spring Festival |
The 28th annual MABS Spring Festival will commence Friday evening, April 15, 2011, and will continue through Sunday afternoon, April 17, 2011, at our family-friendly location: the Harrisburg/Hershey Holiday Inn at Grantville, PA.
Renowned international professional bonsai artists will present lecture/demonstrations, workshops, and critiques of bonsai. Registrants will have weekend-long opportunities to observe and spend time with the artist between demonstrations, and to view the exhibit trees which will be displayed by MABS member clubs. In addition, bonsai vendors will be on site offering a large selection of bonsai, bonsai-related plants, containers, tools, books and other supplies.
The hospitality area will welcome all registrants, complimentary snacks and beverages will be provided, starting at 6:30 p.m. Friday evening, and then again after the lecture/demonstration. The opening lecture/demonstration of the Festival, starting at 8:00 p.m., will be given by one of the featured guest bonsai artists. Each bonsai creation will be raffled following the completion of styling by its respective artist.
