Non-juried art fairs in Illinois or neighboring state?

I'm just a semi self taught amateur but I'd like to enter a local show just for the heck of it. Anyone know of any happening this summer or fall? Thanks a lot!

my advise is that unless you already have everything you need to set up a booth, you can spend a huge amount of money, and easily come home empty handed, to boot.

if you are curious how you stack up, i would submit to some juried shows just to see if you would get picked.
