The appointment of late winter to “Bonsai World” in Gonzaga was , in my opinion , tasty also for "The Fair Lambrusco and Tastes”. But on Friday March 9th evening, in the parking of the fair , I soon realized that the connected Fair of Tastes had been shifted in another place and date.
But on Saturday morning tanks to the concerno of Mrs. Laura Redini, organizer of the event, who has put me in contact with the President of the local Social Cellar and of Mr. Ettore who has taken me to the neighbours of the store shop of the Social Dairy and six boxes of Lambrusco and 6 Kos. of Reggiano Parmisan have with my great satisfaction finished in the ”wide holds” of my camper .
|
|
|
I was saying “Bonsai World” orphan of tastes , but connected to the “Fair of Toys” and this has brought numerous people also in our pavillon where in addition to stones and bonsai were also present tables with cultural Japanese activities : Mrs. Sonia with her private collection of Japanese dolls really beautiful but non for sale; Mrs. Miho teacher of kimono dressing , tea ceremony , of shodo , who had on her table cloths, cups and tools for tea; finally a Japanese girl who wrote dedicated ideograms for people attending.

What else to say: the hospitality of th Bonsai Club Gonzaga and of Mrs. Laura redini , President of the Club, was excellent , easily overcoming problems caused by the increasing number of legs under the tables (for description 120 people at lunch , 80 at dinner on Saturday and over 120 at lunch on Sunday).
The merry surprise has been the introduction of cultural Japanese activities which have entertained the present people .

Another surprise at the awarding and at greetings moments:
to all Club and partecipating Associations the certificate has been delivered , properly prepared by Franco, and a package of Lambrusco wine purposely labelled for “Bonsai World”.
