OGCA 2026 Members Awards Reception

May 30, 2026, Kasich Hall,

Ohio Expo Center, Columbus, OH

Join Us for the 2026 Awards Reception!

Keep the excitement going after the show and celebrate with fellow members on Saturday, May 30, 2026. The door to the adjacent hall opens at 4:45 PM, immediately following the close of the show.

Kick off the evening with cocktails from the cash bar and the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets for the “Lucky Libations prize” (a collection of fine bourbons and liquors). Raffle tickets will be $20 each or 6 for $100. All proceeds benefit the OGCA/SAF Youth Grant Fund to educate kids on firearm safety, paper and clay target shooting, hunting, and other shooting sports.

Then settle right in and enjoy some mouthwatering hors d’oeuvres from the legendary Schmidt’s Haus of German Village, featuring a fantastic mix of American and German favorites. Catch up with friends, meet fellow collectors, and enjoy the atmosphere until 6:00 PM, when we present the awards for the Top Members Sponsor and Display Show awards.

After the awards, stick around and keep the celebration going until 7:30 PM! The bar will stay open until 7 PM.

Tickets are just $25 and must be purchased in advance. No tickets will be sold at the door.

Seating is limited and fills quickly, so don’t wait!  The reception is open to all OGCA members and their guests with a ticket. Be sure to print and mail your RSVP form with payment or complete the online RSVP form with a credit card before May 16th; the sooner, the better! Prefer to call? Reserve your tickets by credit card through the OGCA Business Office at 330-467-5733.

Your ticket(s) will be issued as wristbands and mailed approximately two weeks before the event.

Come celebrate with your fellow members and display exhibitors as they receive the recognition they deserve, and be part of a great night celebrating another incredible year. We can’t wait to see you there!
