Baby Grand Champion – Golden Empire 2010

Baby Grand - Pan Intercorp

Congratulations to Bart Thompson on winning Baby Grand Champion at the 11th Annual Golden Empire Koi Show in Bakersfield, California this last weekend.

Purchased from Pan Intercorp, this beautiful Sanke sports large patches of jet black Sumi that are a stark contrast to the balanced crimson Hiban. This Sanke was bred by Sakai of Hiroshima and is just over one year old. Bart’s eye for the best brought him top honors this past weekend.

Way to go Bart!

Puget Sound Young Koi Show

Congratulations to Bill Tullis of Edmonds Washington on his Grand Champion Sakai Kohaku at the 2010 Puget Sound Young Koi Show.

Bill is an avid enthusiast for whom this was the second Grand Champion of this season. His first time was at the Northwest ZNA Koi Show in Portland where he took Grand Champion with another Rose bloodline Kohaku from Sakai of Hiroshima.

We have a feeling that we are going to get used to seeing Bill in the winners circle at the upcoming Koi Show in Seattle. Way to go Bill!

Oops! We almost forgot to mention that Bill also won Baby Grand Champion at the Puget Sound Show. Keep ’em coming Bill!
