TKFGS invites everyone to our 17th Annual Koi & Goldfish Show, Oct 17-18, 2009
for more information contact:
It is with great anticipation that TKFGS is preparing for our 17th annual show. We are dedicated to make this year’s show one of the premier gatherings of koi, goldfish, hobbyists, lecturers, and vendors from across the country. We enjoy sharing our beautiful aquatic pets with fellow Koi and Goldfish lovers. Our show’s primary objectives are to make this event a valuable educational and enjoyable social experience. Our show vendors will be sheltered under a huge tent that will also contain the goldfish show aquariums. The vendor area is only a few feet away from the area where the koi show tanks will be located on the beautiful grounds of Water Garden Gems, 3136 Bolton Rd., Marion, Texas. Water Garden Gems is located just a few miles east of San Antonio outside Loop 1604 on Interstate 10 East (between exits 593 & 595 on the north frontage road) Water Garden Gems phone number is (210) 659-5841. For the very latest in show information check out our club website at http://www.texaskoi.com/.
We are fortunate to have some of the most respected and experienced judges in the U.S. handling our show. Our Head Koi Judge is Charles Phelps, Assistant Head Judge is Chuck Poppe, and Assistant Judge is Jan Thompson. Our Goldfish Judge is Tony Reynolds of Richardson, Texas. All fish will be shown “English Style.” This means that specific tank/s will be reserved for each individual owner to quarantine their fish from all other fish in the show. We require that everyone wanting to show fish make reservations and advance payment for their goldfish and/or koi tanks. Please see additional information about tanks/reservations, registration forms and disclosure, and show rules in the sections below. We already have confirmation of entries and visitors from Kentucky, Colorado, Utah, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Louisiana, Virginia, and all over Texas. If we can be of any assistance with your plans to visit our show or show your fish please let us know. We also have a special program for show visitors that want to participate in the fish show but not bring fish to or from the show. Anyone can purchase a fish from one of our show vendors and place it in the show at no charge and either take it home or donate the fish after the show to the club auction. Yes, you get to keep any trophies or awards. Many of our fish vendors have given a special discount at past shows for fish that will be entered in the show. We are very excited about this year’s show and looking forward to seeing old and meeting new friends. Please drop by the TKFGS booth and introduce yourself. We will also be selling cold drinks, raffle tickets, current and previous show pins, and special show T-shirts to help us defray the costs of the show.
