Heart of Illinois Cluster Dog Shows

May 23-26, 2025

Our club has partnered with the Illinois Valley Kennel Club of Peoria to co-host the Heart of Illinois Cluster Dog Shows over the Memorial Day weekend at the McLean County fairgrounds.

​

Our first shows were held in 1948 and continued every year until 2020.  After missing a year, due to Covid-19, our 2021 shows were the first American Kennel Club shows held in Illinois since the inception of the pandemic.  Approximately 900 dogs, representing one hundred fifty breeds were showcased over the weekend with entries from almost all 50 states.

​

Our members work hard to make the shows a success!

Each year we award Junior Handler Scholarships at our Cluster Show
