Ohio Hardwood market set for March 3-4

By Michael J. Knell -- Furniture Today, February 22, 2010

WALNUT CREEK, Ohio —

The third annual Ohio Hardwood Furniture Market will be held at the Holmes County Expo Center here March 3-4. The market is one of the few in North America specializing in furniture crafted in the Amish tradition.

Covering some 95,000 square feet of exhibition space, the event will feature more than 100 furniture producers from Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania and Michigan.

Organizers say they believe that the two-day show has become a mainstay for furniture retailers in the Midwest and may be one of the largest shows in North America focused exclusively on hardwood furniture.

One new feature at this year's show will be a competition called the Design First: Excellence in Furniture Award. Judges will grade the Best of Show, attendees will choose a People's Choice, and a third award will be given for the best display.

Registered attendees can attend any of several free seminars over the two days. Attendees also dine for free at the Expo Center's café, with proceeds that are donated for food going for special education in Holmes County's Amish schools.

Last year's market drew more than 2,000 attendees from the United States and Canada.

Attendance is free, and open to those in the furniture business. To register and learn more about the market, go to the event's Web site at www.ohiohardwoodfurnituremarket.com. Questions about registration, lodging assistance or other show and travel inquiries should be directed to the Holmes County Chamber of Commerce at (877) 643-8824.

The market will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on March 3 and from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on March 4.

The market is organized by the Hardwood Furniture Builders' Guild, a nonprofit group of manufacturers in northeast and central Ohio.
