Schedule of Events

for participants of last year's show that purchased TORAZO GOSANKE
Torazo Kohaku
Due to the limited space from the recent flooding of our Koi Yard, we have consulted with Burt Ballou and determined that contest participants may bring in a recent picture of their Torazo Koi. Entrants must register via online email at peters@pskoi.com or via phone at 925.313.9351 and receive confirmation in order to participate. There is no fee charged to entrants. Current picture must show and accurate means of showing the size of the fish in inches (measuring tape...). The fish will be judged by Burt Ballou on growth, quality and improvement. The winner will receive a cash award equal to the amount of the original purchase price of their Torazo Koi. This contest will continue at next year's show with any Maruyama Kohaku Jumbo Tosai.
12:00pm - Lunch
