Our show banquet is one of our most important events of the weekend! Not only is it a time to recognize the many winning koi and their owners, it is also a great time to socialize. We have a special treat this year as Bryan Bateman, AKCA certified koi judge and author, will share some of his thoughts about trends in with koi varieties and he will put up a few examples used in his popular "Hoosier Daddy?" talk.   Read more about the banquet...

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.
