Damm Mark there was food?? I was so busy I did not get a chance to eat anything. Hope it was good. I think Ken had a really great time and his customers received a great learning experiance and lunch. Sakuma and Toru were both on hand to answer all questions and help select fish all weekend. I sure hope Ken does another seminar real soon. It is a great way to promote the hobby and teach all us koi kichi's. Congrats on your showa picks Mark, sorry you lost in the raffle. I think there was only 2 people who guessed the correct order of showa's. Sakuma had a great weekend, visiting hobbiest ponds, going to dinner with Ken and staff, and a few hobbiest. All in all I think it was a wonderful weekend for all of us.

Thanks Ken- this is a great opportunity for the hobbyists. I still have my eye on a gin showa. Next year, maybe 100 people? I hope pictures will be posted. Nancy, where are you?
