The intent of this event is to introduce decoy collectors to decoy carvers. This is a great opportunity to make new connections at the show and show off your Decoys. 

• Successful Sellers are asked to make a $5 donation per decoy.
• This event will be limited to 50 entries, first come, first entered. Limited to 2 entries per person.  Pairs equal one entry.
• Entrants will be responsible for pricing the decoy and coordinating the final payment arrangements with Buyer.
• The ODCCA Board reserves the right to make first selection from the entries for the price of $200. This selection will be used for fund raising event at the discretion of the ODCCA board. Any decoys not purchased will be returned to the entrant, no fees associated.

Again this year, entry fees and attendance fees will be waived as the ODCCA demonstrates their appreciation to both collectors and carvers, promoting the camaraderie for a common interest, The Decoy!

Cocktail Bird Auction
Entries from the very popular Cocktail Bird Contest are auctioned Saturday night.

 Collectors love this part of the auction because the entries are highly detailed and beautiful! And they take up very little shelf space.

The contest requires that the cocktail bird must fit in a cocktail-sized glass.

All of the entries become property of the ODCCA and will be auctioned Saturday evening. The auction proceeds are split with 50% to the carver and 50% to benefit ODCCA.
