on Sunday March 1, 2026 at a NEW CONVENIENT LOCATION!!!!

The new location will help us keep costs reasonable and provide our dealers and attendees the best experience possible.  Our show will be at the Franklin County Fairgrounds (not to be confused with the Ohio State Fairgrounds), which is in Hilliard, Ohio a suburb connected to Columbus.  We are certain that you will find this location to be very convenient and that our show is going to be a big success like in previous years.

The night before the show, we are having our hospitality buffet dinner event (on Saturday February 28, 2026).   The hospitality event is also at the Franklin County Fairgrounds, which will allow you to have a preview of the next day’s event venue. See “Read More” for Contract and Flyer.

It is with great sadness that the OBC must announce the passing of FOHBC Hall of Famer and Ohio Bottle Club friend. For so many years Jack contributed to the Swirl with his interesting articles. The Ohio gang would meet Jack every year at the Baltimore Bottle Show. Originally a friend of Tim Kearns, he soon was just one of us crazy Ohioians. He traveled to FOHBC National Shows, and we did the town. What an interesting man, Memphis, Louisville & others. I had my own travel guide. Jack’s Obituary. See “Read More” for additional Websites.
