Has anyone seen old man winter?  Thanks to this years mild winter we can start to focus on an early spring and the start of our pond season.  Your MKPC has a full schedule of events planned for this year.  This year’s complete schedule can be found on our web site or in the clubs newsletter.

Our first event will be held at the newly renovated,

Joe Barson will do a presentation on Spring Pond Opening and Pond Protection.  Joe will cover the do's and don'ts on pond opening and getting your pond up to speed to provide a healthy environment for your fish.  Joe will also cover ways of protecting your pond from predators.  Once again Joe and Debbie will be providing light snacks and beverages. 

As always, questions are welcomed and are encouraged.
