Central Florida Koi Show: March 10-12 2006
http://www.cfks.org/
Holiday Inn, 6515 International Drive, Orlando FL
The 5 clubs of the Orlando/Central Florida region
have pulled together to continue having a Koi
show in the Orlando area. This show will
have it's main focus on Koi and Koi keeping. The core group of this new
show comes from the newly formed ZNA Southern Koi Association (ZNA SKA)
club and the other four Central Florida area Koi clubs. Although ZNA
SKA is a club by itself, the majority of its members are also members of
one or more of the other area Koi clubs and several members are from
other countries. Our expectations and goals for the new CFKS are to be
just as big or a bigger show, but more concentrated on Koi and Koi
keeping. The 2005 show proved this to be true, as it was truly the best
show we have put together of any. This show is being presented by the
five clubs of Central Florida as a collective effort but with the
involvement of ZNA SKA as a core foundation. In presenting the show in
this manner, we hope to bring in some of the ideals and values of ZNA,
while still including the AKCA aspects. The harmony of ZNA and AKCA has
a long history and the two share very similar views when it comes to Koi. We expect there will be no
differences in the judging criteria and most categories for Koi show
entries. This is strictly a hobbyist Koi
show and as such, Koi vendors will not be allowed to compete against
hobbyists. There may be a separate division for Koi vendors if enough
interest is shown.
