Re: Indiana reptile shows. Valpo, Indy...
Okay, just figured it up again and it's about 2.5 hours. Not a whole three. Last time I was down there was for a horse show last year. My memory slips.
So does anyone have any info on the Ft. Wayne show? Did it in fact dry up? I know that when I talked to Bryan Kollwitz last he wasn't sure it would last. Though I do see him at Valpo on occasion.
Re: Indiana reptile shows. Valpo, Indy...
Don't know about the Ft. Wayne show. It's not showing up on Kingsnake at all... and they have a pretty big list of shows.
I'm originally from Greensburg, southeastern part of the state. Used to go to the Indy show every month with my mom (though he hated snakes, we still talked her into all sorts of other critters ;)). Moved to Ohio for school, started going to the Columbus show.
The Indy shows were always pretty good, from what I remember. Usually fairly large. But it's hard justifying driving 2.5 hours for a show... it's hard justifying driving 2.5 hours to get home just to spend a day with the family. Gas prices suck!!!
Re: Indiana reptile shows. Valpo, Indy...
Oh yeah, the gas prices are nuts. The Ft. Wayne show hasn't been on KS for awhile. The website is www.fortwaynereptileexpo.com but I haven't seen if it works in the last month.
Re: Indiana reptile shows. Valpo, Indy...
The Indy show kinda STUNK this month. - I'm there every month picking up worms and crickets and visiting with folks from the Hoosier Herp Society, and there were less than half the normal number of exhibitors this month.
Very odd - I'm wondering if there was a another, larger show somewhere in the region?
Oh well, I got my 500 superworms AND a great parking place!
Re: Indiana reptile shows. Valpo, Indy...
Well I'm definately going to both shows in June so hopefully it's all good.

So yeah...it's not Daytona but still.
Re: Indiana reptile shows. Valpo, Indy...
Wow i just might try to attend this show.
Re: Indiana reptile shows. Valpo, Indy...
The Indy show is pretty good I try to go every month, only 2 hrs from Cincy but its still good. Check out Will Bird for some high end stuff, also Quality Rainbow boas have a good booth too.
