Title:6th Annual NCO Home and Garden Show
Category:Everything Else
Location:The Ohio State Reformatory
Description:

History's trend has been to bust out of jail, but this spring the Building Industry Association of North Central Ohio challenges you to try something new . . .

Ohio State Reformatory

Make your getaway to the Historic Ohio State Reformatory for the 2017 NCO Home and Garden Show.

Who can resist a visit to a famous prison where movies such as Shaw Shank Redemption, Tango & Cash, and Air Force One were filmed.  Self guided and guided tours of the prison will be available in conjunction with the North Central Ohio Home and Garden Show while the show is open.

There will be a great array of vendors at this year's show and we hope that there will be something there for everyone.  In addition to displaying in the historical prison halls, there will be a huge heated tent for outdoor equipment and landscaping. 

Each year is becoming larger and it is a great way to help the local businesses.  Along with helping the Reformatory and collecting food for local charities.

Each adult through the gate will be charged $2.00 or 2 canned goods, the canned goods will be donated to local charities and food pantries.  Children 7 and under and parking will be free.  The Reformatory is Handicap Accessible so all are welcome to come out.  There will be food available for purchase outside of the tent.

Call today with questions!  (419) 774-7996
