We’re making every reasonable effort to have all people that have contributed to this success back to help us celebrate these wonderful 10 years. Your presence, support, and continued contribution have been the #1 reason for our success.

I screwed up!!! (now there is a shock )

I had understood that our club's tradition was indeed that the Reserve Grand Champion automatically became our Koi of the Year. As such, it woud have to owned by a club member.

THAT is NOT the case!!! I misunderstood and reported things incorrectly!!!


As with many clubs, our AKCA Koi of the Year will simply be the highest ranking fish at the show owned by a club member. The AKCA rules exclude the Grand Champion because tthat goes into the AKCA Champion of Champions contest.

I am very sorry for this. The registration form is being amended. Any forms already submitted with have that rule scratched out and not enforced.

Crow is delicious.....my plate is full!!!
