June 2009 Club Meeting

Saturday, June 20, 2:00PM

Hosted by Jose and Diana Salazar

2911 Dunblane Court, Kissimmee

Ph 347-432-3227

 

Jose and Diana and son Joseph are new members in the OAK&PC, having just joined this year.  Jose brought pictures to the Christmas meeting of the pond he dug and built himself.  It appears that he did his homework and built the pond correctly the first time.  Jose is going to bowl one of his koi that has a small spot on it so that Rob can take a look and perhaps demonstrate how to do a scraping and examination under the microscope.  We may also be able to view a video of the mud pond pull last year at Nishikigoi of Niigata Koi Farm in Virginia.  There were some truly spectacular koi coming out of those mud ponds.  We may see some of our own club members taking part.
