ABOUT US
Welcome to Classic Kids, the heart of a vibrant community brought together by a shared love of dolls, toys, and the cherished memories they carry.
Each October, collectors and enthusiasts from all over gather for our Annual Dolls & Toys & Bears - OH MY!, presented by Classic Kids show — a beloved tradition celebrating the artistry, craftsmanship, and nostalgia of toys across generations. From vintage dolls and teddy bears to handmade treasures and imaginative new creations, the show brings together a dazzling variety of exhibitors, artists, and collectors who share one simple joy: keeping play alive.
Now under new ownership, the event begins an exciting new chapter. Chris Wilson, owner of Classic Kids, has been part of the doll collecting and restoration world since 1995. Known for her expert craftsmanship and passion for preserving the stories behind every toy, Chris is thrilled to carry on the legacy of this cherished show — ensuring it not only continues, but thrives for years to come.
As we grow, this website will become more than just a place for event information — it’s evolving into a year-round hub for collectors everywhere. You’ll find updates about the annual show, exhibitor details, collector resources, artist spotlights, and stories that reconnect us to the toys that shaped our childhoods.
Whether you remember the thrill of unwrapping a brand-new doll or firetruck in 1965, or you’re discovering the artistry of today’s emerging toy makers, the Classic Kids Collectors community welcomes you. Our show is a place where nostalgia meets new inspiration — where the past’s beloved playthings stand proudly beside the imaginative works of a new generation of creators.
Come celebrate with us. Revisit the magic. Meet the makers. Share the memories.
Because some toys never really leave us — they just find new hands, new hearts, and new stories to tell.
