Kids Paint a Loon Blank
​
This contest was moved to Saturday 1:30 p.m. in the ballroom and was a success!

Free, no cost to parents...
Children pre-school thru grade 12 were provided the paint, brushes and a 1/3-sized loon blank to paint at the show on Saturday. Many came prepared with reference materials. Thanks to contest chairman, Mark Langenderfer and his wife Kate for helping at the contest.

The rules for the 2025 painting contest will be included in the Fall newsletter. We ask parents to pre-register so we have enough blanks.

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!
