Well the first thing that happened when i get there is that I got put to work :rofl

Setting up tanks and filling them with water, Ranchu and i placed atleast 12 10 gal tanks up for the show and get the airstones working......

Ranchu also made a wonderful poster board for the goldfish show and used photos from KGW, so you might see some fish on there thats been here before....But lets get down to the fun :D

By the way most of the goldfish that won were Ranchus and beleave me I dont think anyone could have done anybetter than her :D

Here we have the club booth, with Terry's wife Ruth (the Redhead), and a very funny Japanese guy named Franz. We had a ton of laughter with him, and he gave us a huge comet to take home. That comet started out as a 3 inch feeder comet, and is now a 1 ft beauty!

As for the koi part, the black/white koi won Grand Champion this year, and belongs to Martin Wilcox. Grandchampion is the Kohaku (red/white koi, also owned by Martin), and Reserve is the Sanke/Showa? (red/white/black)....

Yes that camera has great zoom. But I tell you even with a chain link fence infront of me, that was scary to see one in person :yikes

[Ranchugirl]

Those koi just don't bother with any watching people, do they now? :tomuch:
