| 2017 Show Entrance |
This year's ACBS June exhibition drew a steady flow of visitors at the Cuyahoga Valley Art Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. Although we had fewer trees this year than in some of our shows in the past, we still had a good sampling of different bonsai styles and also a good mix of species, both tropical and hardy, evergreen and broad leaf varieties. The the bonsai also provided a good sampling of member projects with trees that suggest stories, provided delights, color and serenity. It remained celebration of why we love bonsai.

Mike's grape too had multiple grape bud clusters this year, and the penjing, designed by Carlton Buck just looks, as one young visitor put it "like a place of fairy tales." We also had several neat little mame
