Illinois Doll, Toy, & Bear Shows
Comments
A place for information, pictures, videos, etc. on my various Doll, Toy & Bear Shows From there a love for the hobby grew and is a large part of my life today.
My love of dolls began when my godmother got me my first Barbie doll at the age of 5. The Willowbrook shows(now to be held in Countryside) were originally started by Gigi & Sherry of Gigi's Dolls & Sherry's Teddy Bears and taken over by JoAnn Reynolds. The Peoria (now East Peoria) doll show was originally run by JoAnn Reynolds. I took over as the promoter of these 3 shows in 2005 and work hard to
Thank you to all for a GREAT show in April- looking forward to our next event on July 24th!
It is with great sadness to post that Jean Pancer Lundburg passed away 2 years.
I was not made aware of this until earlier this week when her husband, Lloyd, told me.
Please keep Jean and her family in your thoughts and prayers.

Hello to all of our followers.
Some have been asking if there will be a show in Peoria, Illinois this year or anywhere else.
Unfortunately due to ongoing personal and health issues we WILL NOT be in Peoria this year.
We have no other shows planned for 2019.
This page is where any information about future shows will be found.
Thank you
