SPECIAL KOI HARVEST SALE

With guest Vance Schultze displaying/selling his top grade Texas bred Long Fin Koi

 Brett's Fish Farm in Danbury, Texas (South of Houston) will be having their 4th annual) tategoi sale (date TBD).  Special guest long fin koi breeder Vance Schultze of Tank Hollow Fisheries in Poteet, Texas will be there with his best 1 & 2 year old longfin koi for sale as well. Those of you that attended this event the past know what a great experience this can be. All koi hobbyists, koi clubs, as well as the general public are invited to attend. Special koi never before offered for sale will be available from both breeders during this special event.  

This is an opportunity to purchase young tategoi usually not offered for sale until the second or third year will be available this day only as all tategoi will be returned to grow out ponds afterwards. This is possible due to the event being held at the farm which does not require breaking quarantine by returning koi from events away from the farm.    Special guest lectures, koi judges, other experts, etc. will be available during this day to answer your koi related questions.  This will be a fun learning experience as well as an opportunity to mix with other area Koi Kichi and acquire that special koi you might have been wanting for a very long time. there are several seminars planned and tours will be repeated as needed throughout the day. Here is a link to show some examples of koi Brett will have available for sale on Saturday.  http://www.brettsfishfarm.com/koi.html  

Here is a link to see some examples of the long fins to be offered by Vance. http://www.tankhollowfisheries.com/

 Brett & Vance will be donating some of their show quality koi and long fins for a special raffle at the event. TKFGS will be selling $5 raffle tickets and drawing for these special raffle items about 1-1:30pm. We really want to thank these donors and appreciate this opportunity to make up some of the losses incurred at our recent show.
