Here in Illinois, we are fortunate to have a number of small, local pond and water garden clubs, as well as two large, very active koi clubs.  The Midwest Pond and Koi Society hosts an annual Trade Show in May, an annual Koi and Goldfish Show in August, and an annual pond tour of residential Chicagoland ponds in July.  Koi shows and pond tours are a lot of fun, and wonderful learning experiences for all levels of koi and goldfish keepers.  Passion for Ponds, Inc. hosts annual road trips to shows hosted by the Midwest Pond and Koi Society to anyone interested in attending these fine shows.  More information on Road Trips is at the bottom of this page.

ROAD TRIP!!! 
Anyone who wants to come along is welcome, however, seating is limited, so let me know as soon as you can if you are interested in attending any of the above listed shows.  We will be taking a conversion van, so there is comfortable seating for 7 adults, but if we need more seating, arrangements can be made for another vehicle, but I need to know in advance.  (Of course, you CAN drive up yourself if you want to, but who would want to?)  Refreshments and snacks will be served on the way up and back.  There is plenty of room for plants in the back of the van, and I will bring insulated fish boxes for any fish purchased, so if you want something REALLY spectacular, plan on coming!  Please e-mail me to reserve your seat at
pondgal@gridcom.net.
Here's the deal for the above-listed Road Trip shows:

8 a.m., Saturday:  We depart from Gridley (Call for Directions)

10 a.m.:  Arrive at the Show site.  (Cost of admission varies for each show)  We will spend the day at the show, but go out for lunch, so plan on bringing lunch money, as well as some cash to enter the raffels!

After the show, we may all go out to dinner if we're not too exhausted, and then head for home that evening.
Please e-mail me if you have any questions at pondgal@gridcom.net
