NARBC Schaumburg Head to Chicago's northwest suburbs this weekend for NARBC Schaumburg! All of your favorite breeders and vendors will be waiting, and the show will be packed with everything you want to see and buy.
Join us at 5:00 on Saturday night after the show. Hundreds of donations will be at the USARK benefit auction, which will be held in the Nirvana Ballroom on the second floor of the same convention center as the show. Stop by the USARK booth for full details. Thank you to everyone who donates and joins us. These fundraisers are always fun and great events for the herp community. See the flyer at the bottom of this email.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! We always need volunteers to help with the auction and other duties. Please email vanessa@usark.org if you want to help. Thank you!
