Kudos to ZNA Southern Koi Association

[MikeM]

Work prevents me from participating this weekend in the ZNA Southern Koi Association event in Gainesville, FL (home of the U.S. Triple champ fighting Gators). There is a wonderful learning program planned, with University of Florida aquaculture veterinary science profs teaching on koi health issues, Joe Pawlak of Blackwater Creek giving a program on koi breeding and selection, a "live" judging program and much more, including lots of socializing fun. A full weekend of koi.

Wish I was there guys! (and gals!)

Goodness... when I got serious about koi, Florida was a backwater in the hobby. The dedicated work of clubs from the panhandle to the southern coast, and the regional work of ZNA SKA across the state, has brought us great shows, an elevated level of knowledge and koi appreciation, and much energy for building the hobby further. Florida has a way to go to catch up with the West Coast and the Mid-Atlantic core, but the future looks good.

Congrats & thanks to ZNA SKA.
