If you mean the NARBC Show at Tinley Park it's next weekend (Oct. 11-12) and from what I hear it's one of the best shows to go to. I'd do the drive.

I think its worth it as I've been making the 5 hour drive for the past 4 years

As both a vendor and a hobbiest I think the NARBC show is a very good show. Well worth the drive. Not near as big as daytona but then it's not as overwhelming. Generally speaking you can see all of a vendor's animals without being shoved around by the crowds and most will have the time to talk. There is usually a good variety of animals to see as well. Just my opinion.

NARBC is worth any distance...I count down the days every year! It is my Christmas

The All Animal Expo, is also called the Chicago Reptile Expo, and it is not worth more than an hour drive IMO. Not a bad show, but meets twice monthly, so it is not huge like NARBC!
