Great photos! Thanks for sharing! Any more???

Please post more photos if you have them. Personally, I love seeing the diversity of the machines and people.

I put them on our website instead of vacuumland. Also, the club officers have been updated on our site as well under "contact us". We are going back to emailing the newsletter. Ken and Barb are taking on that task. Since the cost of physically mailing, it was still high for us.

We also have a Youtube video of some of our games that we are working on getting posted.

I've added some more. The convertibles on the table were donated to the club and given away as game prizes. I walked away with a 69 and Luke won the 68 and 34 I believe. We had plenty of vacs to raffle, and for the free and for sale piles. Chris received a very nice Eureka 260? (It was brown, I could be wrong on the model number) from Sean. Phillip took the GE tank vac home with him and a few others.

I also bought Glenn's pink Constellation for my sister. She wanted a vintage vac. We had other small appliances as well. I won a nice GE hand mixer and yellow bowl in the raffle.

We also watched Who's Minding the Store with Jerry Lee Lewis and afterwards we had to name the manufacturers of the appliances shown in the film. The winner walked away with the 70.

If you have never met Sean or been to one of his mini meets, then I feel bad for you. Sean is one of the most creative collectors I know, and his library of paper and catalogs is the best I've seen.
