Super nice people and well organized. Sorry I'm going to miss it this year as I have freshman in college and it's parent weekend.

Have fun at parents weekend. I was hoping you were going to be at the show again. I wanted to see the Tancho again.

I just looked at the schedule and I may get to come up on Sunday morning, but I won't get to bring my tancho. I'm going to try to take her to Greenville couple weeks later. Best wishes to the members of the club and all the exhibitors.

I hope the camera dries out and works before then. The severe thunderstorm at ZNA Potomac got the camera wet and it isn't focusing.

Had a good time this weekend. The meal for the meet and greet Friday night was a Low Country Boil and it was great. The people were great. The walk around Sunday morning with the Judges was very imformative. I took some pictures. Will have to figure out how to upload them.

These are pictures of the beautiful grounds of East Coast Koi and the owner Bobby Wang. Some of the pictures show the show site, some the fish house, and some of Bobby's personal pond.

These are my pictures of the various tanks of fish. Some didn't turn out, but I think this shows most of the fish. A very nice assortment of very nice fish.

Below are pictures of the results sheets, and the judges.

The show was very well done, and had some of the nicest amenities of any show. Some of the ones that I took advantage of were the free lunch, donation appreciated, free banquet dinner, and the one that I missed out on was the free breakfast Sunday morning prepared by club members, and the free seafood boil on Friday, but I am allergic to shell fish, so probably just as well.

Philip Bronikowski and Rich Eitel did an excellent job as Show Chairs.

I wish that I could have gotten a picture of the winner of the WWKC Friendship award, but the camera decided to not focus again. The fish was one that I thought was a ki shusui, but was actually a ki kikokuru belonging to JoAnne Bronikowski. It is said to have it own trophy case for all the friendship awards it has received. The fish is gorgeous.
