I've been wondering where the pics were . (Not that you've been busy or anything ) Looks Like Dan and Gene had another great showing and you didn't do too shabby yourself It was nice to see some more of our local O.K.S. talent do well too (attaboy Michael K )

BTW, Hope to see you in a few weeks at the Downs Mud Pond pull It will be our first one

thanks Ray for posting and thank-you Bob for providing the pics and judging...I really liked many of the top koi at this show...especially the Grand Champion in "B" class......

I heard that a showa at the san Antonio show which took best in size 6 was bred by brady at lotusland....not bad for a domestic.....

congrats to all those involved in the show.....really nice collection of competitive koi!

Correct Dick. Carstens Best in size six showa was purchased as few years ago when Carsten & I took a quick trip back east to visit Brady. Carsten's showa is developing nicely.
