Rubber Stamp & Scrapbook Expo in Chicago

[JulieBo]

Has anyone ever gone to this? It is in Tinley Park Il, outside Chicago. It would be about a 6 hr drive so I want to make sure it is worth it. Here is the link for the show.There are lots of other locations as well.. looksss very intersting and funnnn !!

I went a couple years ago and it was very small. Not worth a 6 hour drive unless you have other things to do in the Chicago area. We're going to one in Milwaukee at the end of March and there is one in Collinsville, IL (south by St. Louis the second weekend in June, and another one the last weekend of June (30th) in Springfield, IL. Didn't know which direction you were driving from.

I went last year and I agree with Toni in Kansas's comments. It was worth it for me to go as I live in the Chicago suburbs, but I don't think it would have been worth it for me if I had to drive more than 2 hours to get to it.

I am guessing that if Marco Papers is at the show, it is one of the better stamping shows. What do you ladies think of that???

I went to the one in Tinley lst year and thught it was small. I did buy two scallop punches though. I'll go again this year as it's close to home.

For the expo in Collinsville, you can google Rubber Stamp Events and Gateway Center, Collinsville. The Rubber Stamp Events site doesn't have the details yet of the show and participating vendors, only the dates.
