Anytime a group of dedicated koi lovers can get together you know it will be a good time....and Indy certainly was one of those times.

Our Koi are still "in transit" (being held) due to our recent move so Cheryl and I didn't have any entered but we had fun just the same. We got home about 8pm after helping break down the show...we were done by 6pm! Great group of workers. Mike Pheffer did the "nasty" job of cleaning the tanks that had spawnings...yuck.

Made me think, how about a "spawning charge"? $50 or help clean tanks for those that have a spawning in their tank? Might help for those that bring both sexes to get 2 tanks? Or, at least get some added assistance in tank clenaing? Or...be a fund raiser!

Congrats to SDue and Dick Emerick on their GC Shiro. That's 2 GC thia year for them with different koi. WTG!

The NMZNZ folks were terrific, Dick and Brenda Thomas, Chester Bailey, Marc and Tamara Skaggs, The Pheffers and even Mickey (the windowman) along with many others helped to make this show a great success.

Thanks for the pix. Always fun to see some of the fish and people. Recognized Sue and Dick, Art and Nicole. Any chance you could go back and edit in some of the other names of folks we might know by name but not by face?

Thanks for the voice over. Had heard you'd moved; where have you and Cheryl settled this time around?

[schildkoi]

LOL

Yep, we are a little over an hour due west of Indy (just over the stateline into Illinois).

I haven't been home for a weekend since the move about a month ago so I plan on relaxing some this coming weekend....maybe even start on getting the "cardboard box" back up and running.
