There is the Wheaton Show (twice monthly), the Lake County Show (once monthly), Tinley (annual), ReptileFest (annual), Sewerfest in WI (twice yearly), Indie Show, IN (monthly, with an Expo in early Nov) and a few smaller shows that pop up from time to time. I've worked all of these shows with my favorite being Tinley. I wish you had come to visit when you were at the Wheaton show. I don't have a lot of animals left this time of year but I still try to make every show. It's fun to be surrounded by people with similar interests.
