Pre-viewing of all items starts by 6:30 PM and bidding in the regular auction begins around 7:30 on Oct. 3, when President Bob Hampel will be doing the honors as auctioneer at the Big Fall Auction meeting. (Note change in bright red.)

Here's your chance to pick up good stuff you've always wanted, and lots of it at low prices. There are usually things that someone brought all the way from some far-off state (saving you a trip!). And there are always trees, finished bonsai, or raw material being sold because the owners ran out of storage space. This is the time of year to look for bonsai bargains. For tropical fans, there are usually indoor species available, so you can practice your bonsai skills all winter long.

Will you be selling? Don't forget to bring pots you don't need (new or used) - small ones can be grouped in a box for one price. Books, show stands, viewing stones, and of course, bonsai plant material at any stage of development.

SELLERS: Carefully read the rules in this issue. Bring in sale items BEFORE 6:30 to have them checked-in and arranged in the proper area.  The regular auction is up on stage, silent auction and retail sale tables below (read the rules for each).  Be sure to fill out your 3x5-inch description cards ahead of time (odd-sized cards or paper slips no longer accepted).
