              getting there...
              The NEW Lake County Fairgrounds are located at the intersection
                of Peterson & Midlothian Roads (the entrance is an extension of
                Midlothian Road), approximately 6 miles west of I-94 off the Buckley
                Road/Rt 137 exit. 
              Here is our very own map: (click

              From Metra: The North Central Service (NCS) of Metra has a station at Prairie Crossing/Libertyville. It is less than a mile from the fairgrounds. We do not have shuttle service at this time, but there are cab companies - see Lake County Visitors Bureau link below. Here is a map of the route from station to fairgrounds.
               
              from I-94:
              Exit 137 Buckley Road west. Approximately 4 miles later, just
                past the intersection of N. Butterfield Road, take a right exit for Peterson Road. Continue west on Peterson Road to light at N.
                Midlothian Road - turn right into Fairgrounds.
