Show setup started today . Attached are a few photos from the setup. All 31 tanks are reserved and the koi start coming in tomorrow so I'll be posting more photos tomorrow.

It looks like a great location and the weather is cooperating. I hope it holds up for you. I look forward to more pictures.

Ok first let me say I benched 180 koi today and I've picked out a few benching photos for you. They aren't great as they are just for the show software. Tomorrow I will take real photos for you all. Today I basically benched and helped out with everything else so other then the benching photos I didn't take any pictures. Hopefully tomorrow I'll have some time to take some good shots of the koi and of course the koi kichi . The kohaku pictured is a 30 or so inches. Not a great pic but a really nice koi. A nice gin rin showa that was a size 6. A bekko going airborne(stayed in the tank though) and a little size 2 showa I really liked.

[UP ALL NIGHT!!]

It was Hot!!
The grounds were stunning.
Every one was having a good time.
THAT Kohaku was gorgeous and what a personality she has!!! She wanted out of that tank!
Poor Jim was super busy I did not want to bother him to say "HI"
I'm going back tomorrow! See you there Jim, Lori
P.S.
I missed "the" wet lab... Too much coffee? I had my own wet lab. I am sooo embarrised I had a little accident on the way there and had to buy a new pair of pants and undies.
A little too much information? Sorry, Life is too short and yes I can laugh at myself.

Track me down tomorrow for sure Lori and say hello. I always make time for fellow Bito members.
