The Crouch Valley Koi Show made another triumphant return this weekend, surpassing the high bar set by last year's event. With more exhibitor vats, an expanded array of trade stalls offering dry goods and fish sales plus their usual impeccable organization and warm, welcoming atmosphere, the show was cooking - and it wasn’t just the weather!
Congratulations to all the exhibitors and volunteers who made the show possible. As always, I had a great weekend and I'll be sharing some special content from my time at the show soon. But in the meantime, let's celebrate this year's winners...
