The Chicago Suburban Antiques Dealers Association (CSADA) is a not for profit organization of 44 members, formed in 1957, whose purpose, as stated in our by-laws, is “to maintain the best interests of the business of dealing in antiques, to encourage high caliber shows of antiques, to encourage educational programs for dealers and collectors, and to support organizations devoted to historic preservation and educational pursuits.”
This spring we celebrated our 62nd year of offering fine antiques to the public by producing the Spring Fox Valley Antiques Show, held in the Prairie Events Center at the Kane County Fairgrounds in St. Charles, Illinois, on the second weekend in March. Our other show, the Fall Fox Valley Antiques Show, began in 1974, and will mark its 45th year on the third weekend of October 2019. Due to the success of these shows over the years, we have been able to support many historic preservation efforts and educational institutions through gifts and grants.
