July 28th & 29th 2012 was the ZNA Northwest Koi Show. It was a beautiful weather. The Brewer's festival was going on at Portland Downtown. The show was held at the World Forestry Center by the Oregon Zoo. Eventhough there wasn't as much as fish entered as last year, the selection and quality of the fish was an eye catcher. Olson's koi took home the Grand Champion and Reserve Champion titles. There were visitors from California, Arizona, Idaho, Washington and Florida.

Our kids entered fish at this show. It was a great deal for our family. This year Northwest Koi and Goldfish show had all ZNA Judges. James Reilly, Chai Taevanitcharoen, Junichi Kayano and Erwin Santos helped to Judge the koi and as the goldfish judge Larry Christensen took the honors.

Thank You to all who came out to support the show. Those of you who were not able to make it this year, we sure missed you and maybe we will see you at some other koi events.
