Don't forget to dress for sweat.
Not much of a breeze down in the valley where Lilypons is located, & man
o man can it get hot out there in the sun.

The Lotus & Lilly growing\display ponds should be spectacular right now,
with all the heat & sun we have been suffering lately. Well worth a good
sweat, IMO, even if you don't really need any more fish.

You will probably have a better chance of finding something unique, as
they should be well stocked for the festival.
I'd advice you to get there early on Sat for the best selection.

Sorry BV, you can always dig another hole.

I saw some at the show. After the posting from Bob, I went to every vendor
and asked if they had blue koi. Saw some beauties. None looked the same,
from blue markings to blue sides. I (naive) thought I was going to see
this
pure blue fish. I did not buy (pricey). Have you tried to call Lilypons,
they are in Buckeystown (Frederick) MD. I bought some butterfly from
them
as I was passing through, they are all three fine. I two I purchased at
the
show were sick and died. Joann

Good idea. Maybe I'll drive out to lilypons next week.
