The second 2022 Oregon Koi & Watergarden Society Pond Tour happens Saturday August 6th from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

This tour has added more local ponds and some that are out of town a bit. High tech and traditional styles will be seen, all with beautiful live Koi. Those taking part can visit pond owners and travel at their own pace. They can learn about having their own pond, as members are always eager to encourage those interested.

At Pond #1, there will be beautiful Koi for sale. These are donated and rescue fish.

Tickets are $5 for adults, with children admitted for free. They are available at the Umpqua Valley Farmers Market both this Saturday and next. They can also be purchased Friday August 5th from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and on the morning of the tour until 11:00 a.m. at Sherm’s Thunderbird Market. A list of ponds will be provided with ticket purchases.
