Our trip to Lotus Land Koi Farm

  .

  Our last adventure took us to Lotus Land Koi Farm in Monroe N.C. We rented a bus because there were about 30 of us that had planned to go on the trip. Thanks to Great American Tours (the Bus Company) we all had a good time on the way up and didn’t have to worry about how to get there and more to the point how to get back.

  As always Brady was a wonderful host and had lots of Koi for us to see. Several of our members came home with new pets for our ponds. Brady also donated a nice Kohaku to raffle off on the way home. All in all, it was terrific day but next time we'll need to remember how far out in the country the farm is located - we got a little bit hungry on the way home.
