It’s the largest in-person collector and carving event in the Midwest, presented by the Ohio Decoy Collectors and Carving Association and the Great Lakes Decoy Association.

Hotel rooms were sold out and the parking lot full for the 47th ODCCA Vintage Decoys and Wildlife Art show and sale, held March 21 - 22, 2026, Holiday Inn South, Independence OH., just 12 miles from downtown Cleveland.

The weekend was jam-packed with 24 carving contests, vendors selling their unique goods, and the biggest auction of its kind in the mid-west.

Elite artisans from across the USA and Canada gathered for the weekend-long premier competition, where their wildlife carvings were subjected to intense judging.

The competition was top-notch and awarded over $12,000 in prize money.

How ODCCA Began

On March 15 - 16, 2025, the ODCCA is holding its 46th 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!
