The 43rd annual Ohio Decoy Collectors and Carvers Show, held March 19 - 20, 2022, set new records! 225 carvers/artists participated in 24 contests and entered 560 works of hand-made art. Some of the entries were decorative and detailed, while others captured the simple essence of the species.
Congratulations to all of our competitors for making this in-person show the best attended this year!
