Some pics from KA07

[schildkoi]

So, after a 13 hour drive, then about 4 hours sleep and then another 4 hours lugging around Tim and helping bag Art's koi (Tim did it all), I get my koi to the show. Although I "pre-registered" the Kohaku into size 5, I didn't pay much attention when the koi was benched. Graham benched her and she was just under the line....a 5. Wellllllll, the recorder didn't here the "a" and thus heard, "just under 5" and turned the sheet in......this made for a VERY big size 4 Kohaku.....that went on to win Young Champion.....for about 3 seconds until someone thought that they should measure her. Not even close, in fact, just 1/8" from being a size 6! We ended up having to check and resize a more than few koi in similar situations.

It was a fantastic weekend!

Hi Steve it very nice talking with you and finally meeting Cheryl. Looked like your daughter had a good time as well. I couldn't help but mention your "size 4" kohaku. That just made me laugh on Sunday .
