Show Roots
The Odessa Antique Show was first organized by Bill Dobson & Tom Girling in 1988 as a one day show. In 1990 it became a two day show and still remains to this day. After a few years Tom moved on to other ventures and sold his share of the show to Bill.
Bill and his wife Linda continued to run the show until they sold it to Karen Leacock-Brown in 2011. It is still the largest outdoor antique show in eastern Ontario with over 100 vendors. The show offers a good representation of antiques and collectables; including furniture, glass, china, advertising nostalgia, primitives, tools, toys, etc. Virtually just about every type of antique and collectable there is can be found at the Odessa Antique Show.
