Eastern Nishikigoi's Sakuma Seminar - Koi Forum - Koi-Bito Magazine

Nancy M. · 04-21-2006

Just wondering if any of our fellow Koi-bito friends will be attending the seminar at Eastern Nishikigoi, this Saturday? Hope to see some of you there

On April 22nd 2006, Eastern Nishikigoi will be hosting a koi seminar. Featuring Mr. Sakuma from Sakuma Koi Farm. Sakuma-San will be bringing in High grade Tategoi koi, and giving a lecture on how to pick a tategoi. There will be a judging contest, the winner will receive 1 free koi from the contest. Eastern will be barbecuing Hamburgers & Hotdogs and will provide beverages.

Oh, how I wish! Have a great time, and tell Ken and Allen hello from me. I sure do miss Eastern!

Nancy,

thanks for posting this. I'll be sloshing dogs and burgers (no fish, this time) for the good of the hobby. Koi Unit, where are you guys? We hope to look at fish, maybe some ponds, and have a good old time. This should be a good time to study and try to figure the future of tosai. SHOW UP!

we will be there! Looking forward to listening to Sakuma-San and visiting with all the kichi.

Nancy,
Think Mr. D called you a bit ago. So....I guess we're coming down from Santa Paula way tomorrow. Will be nice to see you again.
Yours in Koi,
Frankie

so did anyone attend the seminar and can you give us a reader's digest of something you may have learned? You know, for the unforunate masses who because of time and distance were not able to attend? Oregato!

Dick,

We all had a good time. About 70 people attended. The food was good-especially the chicken. Sakuma gave about a 45 minute talk on picking tosai with his fish as models. I picked the four showas in order but lost in a raffle. Damn. Lots of nice people to talk to. 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?

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.
