    There really aren't any regular shows in the tri state area.

    However, there is a small show in Madison WI twice a year that is pretty nice.

    And of course for a BIG once a year show, Chicago NARBC in October is where its at:

    Other than that, its slim pickings.

    Hope this helps!

    Des Moines IA also has a show every year. Other then that the pickings are pretty slim. Nothing at all in MN with any regularity.

    I've heard the sewerfest show isn't anything spectacular.

    Mark, is the Iowa show an annual thing? Thought for some reason that was the Midwest Herp Symposium, its in Detroit this next time around.

    Yeah, the Des Moines show is an annual thing, last year Des Moines had TWO shows because of the Midwest symposium.

    i've done the sewerfest show and there's a nice variety of animals (sometimes two floors) and about 1200 paid visitors.

    IHS has a show once a year in Des Moines. I'm not sure about MN or WI. Tinely Park NARBC is of course near Chicago and a great show if you can make it.
