Talked with Greg, Gene and Norm a few moments ago, they were eating lunch. Only 114 degrees outside, so pretty much staying inside with many exhibitions, seminars and fun going on. Maybe one of the attendees will post a few pics and give us a run down on activities. Yesterday was a judging contest, would be fun to know how those judges did?

Glad to see you made it home, it only took us 5 1/2 hours to drive home. We had a blast hanging out with Jim N. Congratz on your koi person of the year award.

It was also great to be able to meet Cheryl, Steve, Dale & Patty. Had a great time seeing so many of our out of town friends. Banquet was a huge success, they had 240 people in attendence. With some great raffles, and auction items, we were able to pick up another one of Peter Enfields slates. All in all we had a great time.

Thank you Nancy! I had a great time hanging out with you and Nancy's husband . It was also very nice to meet the Childers finally as well as Dale and Patty. I also had a great time hanging out with my good buddy Bill from Mystic as well Japser, the Dunkels, Carl, Vicki, Oz, hope I didn't forget anyone but I probably did also I had a good time hanging out the usual suspects from VA the Poppes, the Fradys and the Janas's. Overall I had a great time. The only down side for me was the lack of koi. And yes I know it was about learning about koi but a couple dozen tanks of koi really would have made my trip. Attached are few pics...including some judges wearing *gasp* shorts with their white judging shirts
