Orlando in March: Central Florida Koi Show

[MikeM]

I've got a real challenge as vendor coordinator.... too much vendor interest! Seriously. Over half of the vendor spaces are reserved 5 months in advance of the show. But, we want the koi dealers separated from one another by "dry vendors"... booths with pond supplies, koi food, koi/pond art, garden statuary, bonsai, etc. If you know someone, have them contact me at: mike.mcmahon@akerman.com .

Mark your calendar: March 9 thru 11, 2007. It's gonna be a great show!

That's right. It's a ZNA show. The ZNA Presidents' annual meeting is being hosted. There will be a wet lab. There will be a full seminar schedule. There will be a special ZNA judging seminar.

Check out the website at: www.cfks.org

Who will be judging the show? Are they bringing a ZNA Japanese Judge?

[MikeM]

The judges have not been announced. Gotta wait to see what final arrangements can be made.

No Japanese judge this show, but we would like to in the future. Current plans are for the following judges. All have been ask, but I am not sure that all have accepted yet. I know that Galen has accepted.:
Head Judge - Galen Hansen
Other Judges invited - Grant Patton
Penny Patton
Don Kabashigawa
Alan Stein (judge in training)
Nicole Lembke (judge in training)

The official announcement will come on the website when all have officially accepted. I think that most have, but can not make that statement or post to the official website until I hear that from Joe White. There should be several updates to the site in the next few weeks as all the pieces come together better. This show is going to be much larger this year and I want to get out as much information as soon as possible so folks can see what is going on and try to make plans early.
