The MPKS Koi and Goldfish Auction -- June 18, 2006

This year we were very lucky in our weather. A thick overcast and constant breeze kept fish and people comfortable. Rain was minimal, just a little here and there. The heron favored us with his customary flyby during setup. Please click on the small pictures to see them full-sized.

This year Ray Helms found three big marquees to protect us from the elements. Renee Reeder_Helms planned and organized everything beautifully. As the fish arrive, Pete Ponzio inspects each one carefully, making sure none are sick or injured.
Hmmm...Okay.

The bags are marked and sorted for auction.

The shoppers begin their own inspection. There are treasures here
   
  The bidders set up chairs under the second canopy The auction begins.  
These are all the volunteers (except the ones who are lugging heavy items off-camera) who made this all run so smoothly. Our greatest thanks to all of you!
