2017 Vacuum convention

[toddk13]

Hi all. Having a GREAT time. Tom has been a wonderful host. Starting to place faces with name. The museum is sooooo cool. Playing with coffee can Hoovers. On the other side, the cordless Simplicity is on a future buy list. Here's my "new" Kirby from Adam.

Having a blast. Just like the "old" conventions, where everyone liked each other and got along.

Frank Morgan arrived with a car full of vacuums. I snagged this brand new rainbow. It was a trade-in on a Kirby. He brought five of them.

Miss Mercy's Kirby Collection, as well as Evans central collection. Beautiful machines.

At Bill Kirby's house. Mike Banta came all the way from San Diego. Thank you to Ken Wagman for your wonderful sense of humor. Loved seeing you again. Rob Shore, you crack me up constantly.

having a blast

Just got back from seeing everyone's collections, just ordered out for dinner, a ST. Louis style pizza, and once I eat that, I'm going to go relax in the hot tub. I can't wait to see what other canisters Frank has brought, so far I'm hoping to take home 4 vacuums, an early model Airway, a compact C6, a Fairfax canister, not sure of the model yet, and a Simplicity Gusto. Also trying to convince someone to let me drive their car, but so far not having any luck with that, but I'll keep working on it. Looking forward to all of the food tomorrow and having more time to play with more vacuums, they say that too much of anything is a bad thing, I'm not sure if that's true when it comes to vacuums though, I guess it would be true if it prevents you from doing everything else that you need to in life, but still, vacuums are so awesome.

So many vacuums. So many friends.

I'm having such an amazing time at the Convention. It definitely will NOT be my last one. Everybody is so nice, and there is no bickering whatsoever. Here are some of the machines I've already gotten.

Wish I could have been there, have fun everybody!

 

[kenkart]

I wish

I could have come too, Tom is one of my most dependable best friends, If you get a machine from Tom, you can be assured it will be better than the description.

Looks like a good time! I really wish I could have made it this year. Ken Wagman and I made plans to go together at some point. Hope to see you all soon!

 

[ultralux88]

Wasn't able to make i this year, I really wanted to too. Haven't got to make it out there since 2013. I know for sure next year I could make it, I was planning on next year for sure, but I guess I'll have to see if I'm allowed to go or not.

Hope everyone is having fun!

 

[dysonman1]

Of course Reggie. We have been friends for years.

 

[dysonman1]

More fun at Bill Kirby's House. Playing with his vacuum cleaners. Thank you Bill for your hospitality.

Hmm....

I don't see anyone trying out a wonder? Were there none to try or are images of them not yet releasable?
