Welcome to the ZNA Potomac Koi Show Site:
September
6-8 2013
I want to take this opportunity to thank you for
considering the 2013 ZNA Potomac Koi Show. We are excited about this
year’s program and location as it marks the 20th Annual ZNA
Potomac Koi Show.
Meadowlark Gardens has been a popular location for you the exhibitor and for
everyone who wanted to visit and see some of the finest Koi on the East
Coast as we expect to have 200+ koi at this event. Our show is now
considered to be one of the larger shows in the USA. We will also have
some of the best National vendors selling both Koi and merchandise. The
Judging will be conducted by highly experienced ZNA and AKCA judges. The
awards ceremony will be Saturday evening at the Park during the
reception.
Forms are
not available yet but when they are please
complete the registration forms and the Koi Tank Load forms. The forms
should be submitted as early as possible to ensure that your tank(s)
is/are reserved. Also in an effort to normalize the judging sizing
system we are switching from the US Standard of Size 1, Size 2 etc to
the BU system that is used everywhere else in the world. To help you
switch to this we have created measurement chart with both inches and
millimeters. We expect to have some exceptional entries this year so
please get your forms in as soon as possible.
The Park
will be open for your enjoyment, with Koi Show visitors receiving a
discounted admission to the Park. So plan to come early and stay all day
both Saturday and Sunday. Thanks!
