I've gotten a few questions, so will post this to all: The host hotel is the: Four Point by Sheraton 10249 Irving Park Rd. Schiller Park IL 847/671-6000 We have a group rate (Midwest Triangle) of $87 per night per room (plus tax ). Please make reservations prior to January 21, at which time the block of rooms will be released. This hotel is literally 4 minutes from the show site and, as a full service Sheraton, offers a great restaurant and a cocktail lounge (or if you prefer, bar). This is the only nearby hotel that offers plenty of grassy areas for exercising dogs. The block of rooms at the Candlewood Suites was cancelled. A visit there revealed they had no suitable area for exercising dogs unless you wanted to stand along Mannheim Rd. (a four-lane major thoroughfare) to potty your dog. Not a good idea. Premium lists are being printed and will go out the latter part of this week. Valerie Harrington whereis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Why Wait?
