The MAKC 20th Annual Koi Show in Maryland

The Mid-Atlantic Koi Club is holding their 20th Annual Koi show and they just keep getting better. If you live in or anywhere near Maryland and are thinking about getting your own koi pond or already have one then you have got to visit the show. This year it will be just after the blistering heat of August has past on September 12, 13, and 14, which makes for a great 3-day weekend starting on Friday the 12th.

This year the show will be held at the:
CARROLL COUNTY AGRICULTURE CENTER
DANELE SHIPLEY MEMORIAL ARENA
706 Agriculture Dr
Westminster, MD 21157

How to Buy Koi

This is a good video for those of you who are considering the koi hobby and becoming koi caretakers. It’s slightly under 6 minutes in length and worth the time for newbies. The one thing I’ll add is the “very long time” they refer to when talking about the koi’s life could be well over 30 years. The koi in our pond are over 25 years old and going strong.

Happy koi shopping!
