PSKoiMobile 2007
Sakai Seminar Contest Winners
The Grand Prize for the February 2007 Sakai Seminar was given by PSKoi: a trip to Japan to attend the Matsunosuke ikeagi (mud pond pull) and auction. The prize was generously split by the winner, Erwin Santos, because the initial result ended in a tie between Erwin & Ed Thomas.
Also on the trip were Mike Perret and Joe Woltner. Here are more pictures from the trip. You can click on these pictures to see a larger image.
