Florida should be commended for their insight and dedication to continue this incredibly worthwhile bonsai
event. Here are a few photos that we took that weekend.... photos that really show the uniqueness of this event,
from a Minnie Mouse bonsai picture, to one showing my car “parked” in Japan, and a few of my tree plaques
from the last 25 years. Wonderful memories, of a Magical Experience!!!

Driving to Japan, a first for most. Special quest badges used
in 1994 only and some of the signs for Ed trees collected
