Lake county Illinois?

I was wondering what’s in the area, I’ve never been to any yo yo events other than demonstrations at school. Also wanna make some yo yo friends, cause after a few hits to the back of the hand, some encouraging words would be nice, I also wanna learn/teach new tricks. Is there a nice store around with small comps? I know there’s are some big names from the Chicago area.so… Yeah whats around here? Anyone know? I’m in the round lake area if that helps. And one a side note, I’ve ignored 2a for too long, is a raider ex a good throw? The spacers seem like a great idea, also I wonder if I can use em on others. Ok enough prattling on. Thanks and looking forward to your answers.

cat and mouse store right by Chicago. there’s a Chicago yoyo club to it meets every last Saturday of the month I think
