As many of you have heard, the Illinois Toy Fox Terrier Association lost their longstanding show site with the sale of Exposition Gardens. While we have explored other possible sites, we have to date not been able to find a site that meets both our needs as well as the needs of our exhibitors and judges. We will continue to explore possible sites on which to hold at least one more show weekend before we retire as UKC Conformation show hosts. We will inform you per Facebook if a show site is found or if our October, 2025 show weekend was our last.

Accessing the Opera House for our July 17 - July 20 shows is as follows: Due to the front entrance being blocked, proceed past Northmoor Road driving north on University St. You will drive approximately 1/4 mile passing Richwood's HS on the left and the Post Office on the right. You will turn left into a lane marked by flags and proceed into a large parking lot. Drive to the far right Gate 5. If there is a ticket taker at the Gate provide your name and state you are with the dog show. Then proceed straight ahead and you will come to a sign with a left arrow taped to the first of several buildings. Turn left and proceed straight ahead to the grey and red Opera House. You may unload close to the Opera House but can not park next to the Opera House. Cars are to park in the designated grassy area past the Opera House; RVs are to park as directed by the EXPO President when reservations were made. Please call John or Sally if you have any difficulty accessing the Opera House.
