Bonsai Central, Collinsville, IL (near St. Louis) USA, May 3-5, 2024

I am waiting to see if they have tickets for just the exhibition and the vendor area. Are you @Kanorin ?

Yes, we will have vendor + exhibition hall tickets available for the following two times:
Saturday noon to 5pm
Sunday 8am to noon

I believe those will be $20 each (per day), but that hasn’t been finalized yet.

Our crew from Canada will be happy to scoop up these door tickets as well. With the 11+ hour drive down, we will be there mostly Saturday and a few hours Sunday morning. We are really looking forward to it.

That’s so cool that there’s a group coming in from Canada, awesome!

@Carol 83 might want to sign up for 1 of Young Choe’s workshops before they sell out. Just saying!

Is there a contact email for this event? I can't seem to find one on the website.

[Kanorin]

And we're on instagram now (@bonsai_central)! Thanks for the nudge @Sansokuu . Appreciate any likes you can send our way.

Looks like a great event!

Bumping this post for button requests! I like to fill the page to not waste paper. Can also mail out for not Bonsai Central shows or for you to just have one.

Hey @Kanorin any update on day passes at the door for us long haul visitors? Just show and vendor access. Thanks

Still finalizing that, but looking like those will be available for Saturday afternoon and/or Sunday. I’ll post here and tag you when they go on sale.

Exhibition Hall + Vendor Hall passes are now live.
$40 for Saturday 11am-5pm or Sunday 8am - noon (that's all that the convention is open for on Sunday)
@Carol 83 and @Wilson

The reason that we chose not to have an exhibit + vendor pass for Friday and Saturday morning was to give the full registrants first dibs on seeing the show and buying vendor wares. For a while we weren't sure if we were going to offer these discounted tickets, but I'm glad we reached a compromise.

 

[Kanorin]

Also wanted to mention that these passes will also be available at the door if you aren't sure if you can make the trip or not until last minute. And we won't have a limited number of these exhibit + vendor hall passes, so no danger of selling out.

10 days until show time! Anyone else coming? Still time to register or buy exhibition plus vendor hall passes.

I’ll be running around all over the place helping coordinate events and volunteers, but please say hi if you see me! I’m Mike V. I’ll also be helping moderate the potter’s roundtable (very excited for this one)

Also, we’ve added a Satsuki Azalea workshop run by Dave Kreutz with some trees he recently imported from Japan.

I've been counting down the days. Really looking forward to meeting some other Nuts and getting into a bonsai trance!

I will be there just not sure if I can make it Saturday or Sunday

 

[Carol 83]

I'll be coming Saturday for the exhibition and vendor area. Can you not buy the passes that day?
