Convention 2000 Class and Show Winners

The class, group, and show winning owners are listed below. Francis Weng, the proprietor of "Garden Ponds" in Talmadge, OH took Best-in-Show and many other awards, putting out a very impressive display of goldfish in a number of classes. All the exhibitors deserve congratulations for a very high quality show; many ended up in the winners circle along with Francis.

In the tables below, the first number refers to the place in the class and the second number (if present) is the number of the tank that the fish was in. While the it may not appear from the tank numbers that the different fish in a class were near each other, actually the show committee did a very good job of getting fish in the same class in the same general area of show tanks. This is a big aid to the judges and was one of several reasons that the judging went smoothly and quickly.
