Chicago Toy Show

The Chicago Toy Show is this Sunday, April 26, 2009. As always, the event will be held at the Kane County Fairgrounds, 525 South Randall Road in St. Charles, IL 60174. The show opens to the public at 8:00 am and will go until 3:00 pm. Admission is $7.

During the 35 (or is it 36 now?) years that the show has been held, it has been known as the Kane Co. show, the Antique Toy World show, or simply, the Chicago show. No matter what you call it, this is one of the finest antique toy shows in the country. Oh yes, it's a doll show, too. Major auction houses come to preview their upcoming auctions, toy dealers and customers from around the world attend, and if you collect toys, this is the place to be.

The show is run by Dale Kelley of Antique Toy World magazine, and the improved facilites at the fairgrounds have made the show even more fun for everyone.
