Minnesota Reptile Shows ?

[Holy Balls]

Does anyone know of any reptile shows in Minnesota and when if any.

There is one that comes here every few years, it is going to be held in Iowa in November. Dave Barker from VPI will be giving a talk on Ball Pythons. Here's a few links for you:

Otherwise there is a show in Madison WI this next weekend, and it is also held in the fall.

And then the next closest and largest show in the surrounding area would be NARBC Chicago.

GRRR! We need more Minnesota, Midwest love!!

It would be nice....but Madison is like a 3.5 hour drive, Chicago is roughly a 6 hour drive...I'm willing to road trip.

Thanks for the info. Man, it would be nice to get some shows a little closer. O well, can't have it all up here in Gods country

Actually there was a new show started last year in Mankato MN by Larry's Lizards. It wasn't a bad turnout for a first time effort. Larry want's to make the show an annual event. Other then that the only closer one is probably Des Moines.

Forgot about that one Mark! I wasn't sure if Larry was going to do another one...I sort of thought it was a one time deal...but if he does make it annual that would be great.

Yeah Jason, I was talking to him after the show last year and he was pretty pleased with the way everything turned out. He actually broke even on it, which he hadn't been planning on with such a new show. He was saying that he would definatly like to make it a yearly thing. I hope he does.
