If you have never shown
before, or are a veteran koi show participant, we hope you will consider
showing your koi this year. We have a highly qualified and experienced water
quality expert, Dr. Robert Passovoy, who has done water quality at our show for
many years, and recently did water quality for the MAKC Koi America show. Dr.
Passovoy is also an AKCA certified Koi Health Advisor, so you can rest assured
that your koi will be in good hands!

ENGLISH
STYLE SHOW This show will be an
English style show for all varieties of koi.
This means that each exhibitors' koi will be assigned a vat(s) at registration
time, and his/her fish shall remain in that vat for the entire show. The purpose
of this type of show is to minimize the risk of spreading communicable disease
from one owners' fish to another. We are also spacing vats approx. 24" apart
to avoid cross-contamination from splashing.
