September 6-8 2019

           I want to take this opportunity to thank you for considering the 2019 ZNA Potomac Koi Show. Meadowlark Gardens has been a popular location for you the exhibitor and for everyone who wanted to visit and see some of the finest Koi on the East Coast as we expect to have 200+ koi at this event. Our show is now considered to be one of the larger shows in the USA. In 2014 we set an all time club record with 306 koi in competition and we strive every year to top it. We will also have some of the best National vendors selling both Koi and merchandise. The Judging will be conducted by highly experienced ZNA judges. The awards ceremony for the major awards will be Saturday evening at the Park during the reception.

The Park will be open for your enjoyment, with Koi Show visitors receiving a discounted admission to the Park. Please note that the koi show is not held in the area that requires ticket purchase so there is no fee to come out and just enjoy the koi show. So plan to come early and stay all day both Saturday and Sunday. Thanks!

Jim North, President and Show Chairman

Michael Frady, VP and Co-Show Chairman

Doug Silver, VP and Co-Show Chairman

Larry Gill, Cultural Advisor and Co-Show Chairman
