By Vince Ciola, president, Our 2020 show is shaping up to be another exciting event. Our club membership numbers are high and we have a lot of new volunteers and people in new positions this year. Please don’t hesitate to email us with questions, and please carve something extra for a contest this year. I’d also like to encourage you to learn more about carving and collecting fish decoys. The fish decoy contest has been our fastest growing contest, and it's really a fascinating realm of folk art. We greatly appreciate your support and always welcome hearing comments about how to improve the show. We will need more volunteers to continue to grow our show, so please consider stepping up in some way this year. If you would like to volunteer, please email me at [email protected]. Thanks! Vince # |

How ODCCA BeganOn March 16 - 17, 2024, the ODCCA is holding its 45th Annual Vintage Decoys & Wildlife SHOW and SALE.
In 1963, a group of decoy collectors met in the Cleveland area to share their interest and knowledge about this artform first created by indigenous people. In 1976, the ODCCA was organized with the goal of holding an annual show and sale. Thanks to our dedicated volunteers who have kept this show going for 45 years! |
