Proud to announce Robert Wu (WhodatKoi) as our return GC again this year. This is the second time Robert has won The GC and again with a Purdin bred Koi. Congratulations to Robert and the Purdin team for another beautiful koi. Our Grand Champion trophy this year was a memorial to Ray Jordan.
Reserve Grand Champion Kohaku and Mature Champion Ogon went to Ben from Biloxi Ms.
Grand Champion Goldfish bred by Mike Christiansen at Ornamental Pond Fish and owned by my self.
We also took best in Variety in showa with our Purdin Bred Showa, and best in Variety Kawarigoi with our Kloubec bred Beni Kumonryu. The Beni Kumonryu also took most unusual koi which was the Koiphen Friendship award Koi. Thank you Cindy Badder again for your's and koiphen support to our show!
The walk around with Troy Head was great, virtually every person that had an entry in either the goldfish division or the Koi division joined in to listen to Troy tell us what he saw and thought about all the koi entered. The turn out for the walk around was simply amazing!
My great friend entered his first show. He took Judges choice Tategoi with his sanke, best long fin in the small class, and best in size with his Ogon. I was even more happy for his achievements than my own. It's a special feeling when all the time you have taken to teach pays off.

Other Koi I took pictures of while I could. It was extremely hard getting time to take pictures with everything going on.
