Our show banquet is one of our most important events of the weekend! Not only is it a time to recognize the many winning koi and their owners, it is also a great time to socialize. 

The show features judging of hobbyist's koi brought to the show by private individuals, a vendor fair where you may see displays of pond hardware and koi, and seminars (Saturday only).  See the "Show Schedule" for more information on all the events for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.  Come early to see the show koi on Sunday because the koi in the show area are removed starting around noon after the judges complete their comments about the koi around the koi show tanks. There is a $10 fee to attend the seminars all day on Saturday. Please see registration to sign in for the seminars.
