Iowa State Fair Bonsai Show Judged First Class

The 2007 Iowa State Fair Bonsai competition was
judged by Gary Wood, from Muscle Shoals, Alabama.
A nationally respected bonsai teacher, Gary also
provided a personal critique to each entrant on possible
improvements to their bonsai entries. Gary has taught
workshops for the IBA before, so he is not unfamiliar
with the association. He compliments the IBA on the
enthusiasm of its members and the good bonsai material
that is in the membership's collections.
