Oregon Koi & Water Garden Society rented booth space at the 2015 Plant &
Garden Expo, put on by the Douglas County Master Gardener’s May 2nd. Our Club booth was set up with koi and pond pictures. It turned
out to be a really nice exhibit of what our club is about. We must of talked to dozens of people who have ponds, and
a few with just water gardens, that did not know our club existed. We had 3 people join our club and quit a few who said they
would come check out our Koi Show in June. This was also a great way to promote our Koi Show. The poster was a
great addition to our booth. All in all
I thought the day was a great success. Thank you Kim Brock OK&WS PNKCA Rep

Northwest Koi and Goldfish Club
On Sunday, April 12 the
North West Koi and goldfish Club had
a booth at the Camilla Festival in Portland Oregon. Our goal was to educate
the public about
keeping fish. Also our own Linda Montgomery gave a talk about the differences
between a koi pond and a water garden and it was very informative. We had five
goldfish and four koi in a three foot show tank. The public viewing the fish
was very excited and lots of people started thinking about building a water
garden or a pond. It being a garden festival many people had water gardens already and were invited to join our club. The
event organizers invited us back
next year because our booth was such a success. It was a very good event
overall and the public was educated about keeping our pets safe.
