The MAKC holds one of the largest koi shows in the United States. The
quality of the fish at the koi show are outstanding. Beginning in 2005,
the MAKC decided to hold a goldfish show, along with the koi show.
Many thanks to the show organizers Jim Castillo, Wayne Orchard, Jim Reilly,
Art & Nicole Lembke for making this show truly special. Next year promises
to be even better! The quality of the goldfish, combined with the
outstanding show set-up and venue, explains why the MAKC has raised the
bar for goldfish shows in the U.S.
Carolyn Weise, President of the Long Island Chapter of the MAKC, and frequent
contributor to the Mid-Atlantic Koi Magazine, sent some photos to us, and
allowed us to post them to the site. Thanks, Carolyn, for the great shots!
Bob Brudd, President of The northern Midwest ZNA Club, also sent some shots,
which we have included. Thanks, Bob for the photos!
