This is our second full ZNA show and although the show is open to all ZNA and AKCA Club members, it is a limited vendor participation show.  Our goal for this first show is to size it so that everyone involved can have a good time, including the set up and break down crews and all others involved in putting on the show.  To do this, we have limited our vendor participation for this show.  This is why you will not see any vendor registration form posted for this show.  We hope that our next show will allow us to include more vendors and vendor participation. 

Once the show site is announced, we will be posting all the information necessary to attend the show.  Once again, we will only have a limited number of show tanks available, so to reserve a tank you must either call or e-mail Don Hellard. 

1.  If a tank or tanks are available, Don will take your reservation and e-mail you a Koi Show Registration Form.

2.  Your form must be filled out and the form along with the money must be received by Don, by the specified date.

3.   If the form and money are not received by that date, the person on the top of the waiting list or the next person requesting a tank (if there's no waiting list) will be given the option to take your place.

  You can contact Don at:     dhellard@bellsouth.net  or phone (352) 331-1268
