Saturday: Koi show day
The weather was 75 and beautiful for the first day of our Koi show! The Koi show had over 20 fish on display, and one turtle. Visitors to Masterson’s were ask to vote for their favorite fish from the fish on display. We gave away free gold fish, hoping to spark an interest in the hobby to the keeper. The last winter in this area was colder than normal, seemed everyone had a story to tell about it. We meet and talked to a lot of people and got a few new members.
