Putting on any show is a ton of work, especially when you are dealing with trees the size we are known for, with a pure volunteer staff. Huge shoutout to @Ruddigger for taking on the role of Show Chairman this year, this was the smoothest show yet!

[Deleted member 47471]

Very nice!

Question: when you’re selecting material for a demo, are you carefully selecting them and with an idea already in mind of structure and initial styling? Or are you not considering structure and style beforehand?

 

[ForrestW]

Good looking show! Thanks for sharing the pictures.

I just grabbed whichever trees had the thickest trunks for the price.

Lots of great trees on display, and a great demo!
