Holiday Inn Resort at 6515 International Drive

Orlando

Host for the Annual ZNA USA District Presidents' Meeting

The Central Florida Koi Show will be held again this year the second weekend in March 2008 from the 7th - 9th at the Holiday Inn Resort on International Drive.  This is our tenth show in Orlando.  CFKS is sponsored by four central Florida AKCA clubs; the Florida East Coast Koi Club, Tampa Bay Koi and Water Garden Club, Gainesville Koi Club, and the Orlando Area Koi and Pond Club. The ZNA Southern Koi Association has members throughout Florida and the Southeast and is the fifth sponsoring club for the show.

Whereas CFKS 2008 is not a ZNA show this year, it is host to the ZNA US District Presidents' meeting.  CFKS and member clubs are honored to once again host this meeting. 

The Koi Show and Vendor Fair is free and open to the public.


                           More parking is available on the north side of the hotel.

The show features judging of hobbyist's koi brought to the show by private individuals, a vendor fair where you may see displays of pond hardware and koi, and seminars (Saturday only).  See the "Show Schedule" for more information on all the events for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.  Come early to see the show koi on Sunday because the koi in the show area are removed starting around noon after the judges complete their comments about the koi around the koi show tanks.

There is a $10 fee to attend the seminars all day on Saturday and a separate $10 fee to attend the special judging koi seminar on Saturday afternoon at 3:00pm. Seating is limited for the judging seminar, please pre-register to assure a seat.  See "Download Forms" on the left hand menu to obtain registration form. To attend other seminars, go to the registration area to sign up on site.
