You just have to move to Illinois.
I most definitely have to get back that way soon. I have not visited the area in thirteen years now. I would love to check out some of these shows.

I asked a coin shop near my area if there are any monthly coin shows in my area and found out there are three. I've been to two of the ones he told me about. It was FUN, FUN, FUN!

Carl,

Where are the good coin shows you go to in IL? I have been looking but it looks like slim pickings around here. Thanks for the tip

There was another post about finding coin shows. And I explained they are all over the area but many, many are not well advertised. Such listings as in Coin World, Google, etc. for some reason just don't really list them all and I never could figure out why.
1st Sunday of every Month, Lemont, Illinois
2nd Sunday of every Month, Countryside, Illinois
3rd Sunday of every Month, Itasca
Tinly Park, Illinois, June 30, July 1 & 2, September 8 to 10th.
Usually the Countryside shows are just not advertised much and yet with 80 to 100 dealers, really should be.
Possibly more but as they get bigger, I stay away. My feelings are the larger the coin show, the higher the prices. Usually there are some of those in Rosemont, Illinois.
Those above are just outside Chicago. There are more South of that area.

Oddly there may well be more but are so lousily advertised, you may well be missing them. That used to be a problem arond me too but I kept on searching and found many that have been around but just not well advertised. If I used coin shows as noted in Coin World, Google, etc. I would miss about 1/3 of all coin shows.
Some areas have coin clubs and those put on small coin shows but not well advertised. Many coin stores and hobby stores too are involved in coin/stamp/hobby shows so asking them may get you more places to try. That is how I find so many in my area.
