Join us for this fabulous event!!

Find your "dream" doll or bear at the Ohio National Doll Show. We have over 80 vetted dealers with nearly every possible doll, bear, or accessory that one could desire! Our dealers love teaching and inspiring collectors with a personal one-on-one shopping experience. Our events and sale will be held at the lovely Cherry Valley Hotel & Ohio Event Center in historic Newark, OHIO on October 3 (events) and October 4 (Grand Salesroom opens!)
We are in the final days of accepting reservations for our two ticketed meal events. Robert and Rachel's may be SOLD OUT at this time. Valerie's has only a few spaces left, so do not hesitate to attend her beautiful dinner event. Reservations may be made at UFDC.org under their calendar tab or you may phone the office at 816-891-7040.
Our room block may be full at this time but there are several nice hotels in the area. Newark is a busy place in the fall, so do not wait until the last minute to avoid disappointment. The hotel is conveniently located 30 minutes from the Columbus International Airport.
Our Saturday events also include many wonderful and Free! learning experiences and programs all presented by the UFDC. (First come, first serve seating.) The local area is full of art galleries, historical museums, shopping and restaurants in a quaint town.
Ohio National Doll Show is one of the world's largest and most beautiful doll shows. It is a Fall tradition and we hope that you will come visit us!
