Sunday, Nov. 16, marks CSULB's 23rd annual Koi Auction in the Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden here at Cal State Long Beach. Members of the Zen Nippon Airinkai Koi Club of Southern California will auction the fish to community members and koi enthusiasts. Experts will also be present to answer questions.
"At first I thought it was kind of a weird idea," said Wendy Bablot, CSULB alum. "But then my parents told me they got the koi in our backyard from one of these auctions!"
The auction will begin at 11:30 a.m. and end at 3 p.m. Admission is $5 for adults and $4 for seniors. Children 12 and younger receive free admission. Ticket and auction proceeds will go to the Miller Japanese Garden, Cal State Long Beach, and the Zen Nippon Airinkai Koi Club.
