Oddmall, Emporium of the Weird Clarion Hotel and Conference Center (Akron area) 240 East Hines Hills Road Hudson, OH 44236 Click HERE for Directions
Oddmall is more than just an ordinary craft show. It's a celebration of
uniqueness, creativity, imagination, and wonder where artists,
crafters, and like-minded sorts gather to offer their unusual creations
for public consumption. It's a forum for creative expression, a
classroom for esoteric wisdom, a soapbox for wild ideas, a miraculous
marketplace of the unconventional, a metaphorical Serengetian watering
hole where the zebras and wildebeests of inspiration and artistry
congregate amidst the snapping crocodiles and scorching sunbeams of
originality and ingenuity. ...umm yeah. Anyway, it'll be fun. Trust me.
