The Atlanta Koi Club proudly announces its12th Annual Koi and Inaugural Goldfish Show.  As evidenced by the change in title, for the first time, there will be a goldfish segment of the show.  We hope this adds to your enjoyment of the event.

Because of the immense support that we have had over this past 11 years, we fully expect this show to be our biggest and most successful show ever. We’re making every reasonable effort to have all people that have contributed to this success back to help us celebrate these wonderful 12 years. Your presence, support, and continued contribution have been the #1 reason for our success.

Here is the a PDF version of the show booklet.  You will need to print it out on 8.5" x 11" paper.  Then fold it in half so that the book is 8.5" tall and 5.5" wide.
