As koi keepers, we look forward to this event each year as an opportunity to showcase our hard work and share our passion for these beautiful fish with the community. We are excited to welcome Shawn McHenry of Mystic Koi as this year's judge. He will have the challenging task of evaluating the entries and awarding nearly 50 individual trophies and honors. This free public event will once again feature a partnership with the Treasure Valley Bonsai Society, which will present an incredible display of bonsai artistry and Aqua Vet Dr. Trista Becker is providing a seminar on "Preparing Your Pond for Winter"

Guests will also enjoy a special performance by the Sangha Taiko Drummers, adding to the excitement and cultural experience of the day.

Whether you're a longtime koi enthusiast or simply curious to learn more, we invite you to join us for a wonderful celebration of koi, bonsai, and community.
