Amish Originals Furniture Co.: All About Autism

If you've stopped by our 8 N. State St. location recently, you may have noticed a colorful, special edition, adirondack chair right in the middle of our entry way. 

Amish Originals Furniture Co. is proud to contribute two special edition, Amish-made, adirondack chairs for auction at the upcoming All About Autism 5th annual Car, Truck & Motorcycle Show and Cruise-In on Saturday, August 20th at Quaker Steak and Lube at 8500 Lyra Drive from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

An American original, Adirondack Chairs were designed in 1903 by a man named Thomas Lee, who wanted to create comfortable outdoor seating for his family at their vacation home on Lake Champlain in New York state. He wanted to design a chair that was not only comfortable but could also adapt to the Adirondacks terrain.  After family-testing different designs, Lee came up with the classic, comfortable "plank chair" design that we still see today.

Our 21st century version of the Adirondack plank chair comes in both naturally-treated pine and poly (like the chairs presented for auction, available in a variety of neutrals and colors). Our poly adirondack chairs even fold for transport and storage.

The Car, Truck & Mortorcycle Show and Cruise-In features music, a silent auction and raffle, karaoke, trophies, free t-shirts to the first 100 registrants, food & drinks, kids' activities, and more.

There is a $10 participant registration fee and registration opens at 11 a.m

All About Autism is a Central Ohio-based organization and the proceeds from this event go to several local autism-related organizations. For details click here (pdf file).
