19th Annual Koi and Goldfish Show July 8-10
The Dry Side - Trade Show
This year, once again, we are combining our Trade Show with the Koi & Goldfish Show. We are planning to have seminars and raffles also, so we have a full weekend scheduled for July 8-10.
The beginning of July is a good time to be fixing up, adding to or enhancing our ponds. Whether it be adding new fish, aquatic plants, pond and landscape lighting and decorations, pond and fish supplies of all sorts or related arts and crafts, you will find them all at the 2011 Trade Show. We will also have pond planners, installers and maintainers for the entire new pond project.
We are working diligently on promoting and advertising our show and believe these efforts will result in more attendees and a more successful show for all. We can all help in this process by calling your local newspaper and letting them know about our event. Find out if you can send them one of our press releases. Ask your favorite local vendor if they will display one of the signs for our show. If you have any ideas about advertising or promoting our show, e-mail Ellen at ellen@mpks.org.
Once again as always, we will be looking for volunteers to help with setup, showtime duties and tear-down. There will be volunteer sign-up sheets at the June dinner meeting. In the near future there will also be a volunteer sign-up sheet on our website. There will also be advertising signs and cards to hand out at our June dinner meeting.
The show is at the Darien Sportsplex on the following dates: Friday, July 8th, 6:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M., Saturday, July 9th, 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. and Sunday, July 10th, 10:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. so reserve the dates, tell your friends and neighbors and come on out to the event that will have it all! Hope to see you there.
