1st Inland NW Koi Show

North Idaho Koi Keepers with Inland Empire Water Garden & Koi Society hosted 1st Inland Northwest Koi Show on August 27 in Spokane, Washington. This was not your "normal" koi show since we simplified the show to keep our "fun meter" at its maximum high. This one day show with an informal barbecue to celebrate the event was a roaring success and everyone learned a lot!!

And thanks to Linda and John Seifert for hosting this event and preparing the wonderful barbecue banquet food - we couldn't have had such great smoked turkey and barbecued pork at any restaurant!!

As we get better pictures from those with cameras, we'll post those. In the meantime, here are the award winners.
