The Hudson Show: Reborn And Recharged By Karl Pass “This is a great show, and I think it’s the best it has ever looked,” commented exhibitor Susan Wirth in regard to the 2017 edition of the Hudson Antique Show. In its 45th year (fourth under manager and promoter Steve Sherhag), the show took place on Jan. 7 and 8 at the Clarion Inn in Boston Heights, Ohio. Just outside the town of Hudson in the northeast part of the state, the
quality Americana show had 53 dealers. Temperatures hovered in the single digits much of the weekend, but clear skies prevailed, and devout supporters/patrons of the show came out in force. “We had about 625,” said Sherhag. “I think the show was successful, and I was pleased with the quality and variety of things.”
