Hi Scott.

I've been out of commission for a while. Did the hotel where we had the 25th anual convention ever get that Electrolux C-A to you as I asked them to? Did you guys survive the devistating fires that were in the area last year?, and do you by any chance still have the C-A? I don't need it yet, just want to know that it's safe.

I'm in a part of Pa. where we didn't have access to the internet till a hub opened up in September. Now I'm back on line, and back in the club.

Wow!

I have never seen so many GE vacs in one place! Beautiful collection - including GE's unique electric carpet sweeper. All you need is the hard-to-find slimline Singer-like upright and the easy-to-find GE "Portapower" compact vac clone and the collection would be perfect! A few more regular GE floor polishers (green, blue and chrome) would round out the display too.....had a green one as a child and got to play with it lots! :-)

Loved those squarish GE canisters with the top-side tool box. Such a simple and easy-to-use design for tool storage! Did they easily fit on stairs without turning them on their rear end?

The mini meet was another super great time at Sean's.  He is the best host ever and party planner too!  The games were lots of fun but the food was to die for!


We used rice and k-pock for the cleaning competition.


The Electrolux C-A was left at the hotel; it was never brought to me by noon; I did not have room for it anyway. 


Thanks again Sean for all the work you put into the mini meet.  Barb
 
No problem.

I had no way to get it back to Pa..

Life was up-side-down for me for several months after that.

Did you survive the devestating fires that were in the area? I had no internet activity, so I don't know if you were involved.

Fantastic!!

Looks like everyone had a great time! Lots of uprights, lots of canisters!

I love all of the things that you all did such as the "Guess that attachment and bag" games, cleaning contests, etc. Very creative and educational. The Eureka Widetrack ESP and Golden J look terrific! I would have to agree that the Electrolux PN2 puts out a lot of power!!

I hope all of the vacs were claimed in the end. Looks like a nice collection of Celebrities and a Hoover Spirit for someone to take home!!

I love the GE's. I have wanted one of the deluxe uprights with the chrome tool set forever. Does anyone have one they would like to sell?

That oblong GE canister- how is the suction? Great looking vac.

Love the Sunbeam electric broom. I used to sell them years ago.
