Greetings from us at WAKO Thank you
for another successful Killifish Show and Auction this past Nov. 2-3, 2024, in
Oak Creek, WI. We had approx. 250 Prs. of Killifish in the Show most of which
went into the Auction along with about 150 additional auction Killies etc. We had a large crowd with lots of interaction among
attendees from all over the U.S. Our speaker, Dave Franco kept the attendees
entertained by his experiences collecting Killifish and the logistics of
traveling to remote areas. Thank you to
all that mailed in boxes of fish and all that donated fish to our event. It was
truly a successful group effort! We want to
thanks the volunteers that gave so generously of their time to make all the
facets of the event run so smoothly. Friendships were rekindled and new
contacts were created that exciting weekend.
