WKWGS Friendship Award was given to Shannon Barnes, keeper of a stunning Ginrin koi. Shannon is flanked by WKWGS members Lucy Macneil and Nancy Moore, who presented the award. In the background is Katy Shanafelt, show co-chair and co-president of the Idaho club.
In addition to the koi show, the Idaho club had a bonsai exhibit and showcased these Taiko drummers during the noon hour.
Show tanks were aligned on one side of the Edwards Greenhouse, which made it easy for the judges, pictured here, and also for the show attendees, who could view the koi as judging occurred.
