I've been planning

Since before the last convention ended! I'm sure it'll be a blast, maybe meet a few new people!

Would love to attend a convention

...but St. Louis is too far for me! I'd love to meet other like-minded Kirby enthusiasts, especially. Anyone know of a convention closer to California??? The idea of a vacuum convention blows my mind! (Pun sorta intended)

Looking forward to meeting all the new collectors. As well as visiting with long time friends.

I regret that, for personal reason, I shall not be attending the convention. I will however, be in town at that time and I very much DO hope to see my visiting friends. Please let me know if and when you expect to be free and available to come for a visit and see my collection.

Marty,

It's such a shame that you won't be there. You are always so much fun. It's always great seeing you and going to events with you. Perhaps things will change. Joe, Greg, Kevin and I always get there on Wed afternoon. That way, we are rested and not rushed when the convention begins on Thursday afternoon.

I'm arriving Wednesday afternoon so I can go to the Tacony factory Thursday morning.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Several are going there.

It is not an official part of the VCCC convention, you know that. It happens to be an attraction about an hour away from where we will be. It is a totally separate attraction. People, I believe, are planning to visit that before our convention begins Thurs afternoon. Enjoy.

Thank you for clarifying that John. Heaven forbid that people make the trek all the way to St. Louis, and not know they can come to the Vacuum Cleaner Museum. It's open all year long. Certainly it would be the "holy grail" for any real vacuum collector. That's one of the reasons it exists. To be a resource for vacuum collectors of ALL brands. Looking forward to meeting people I've never met before.

Also, anyone can purchase a Tacony product at the Factory Outlet Store for much less than suggested retail, and get Free Shipping.

Vacuum Museum

The Tacony vacuum museum is a "must" see for anyone that appreciates and collects vacuums of all brands and types. The factory outlet store is fantastic as well.
You can try them out before you buy,, at a substantial savings, plus free shipping. I have been there several times and looking forward to my next visit this spring.

Ditto Tom

Your Museum is amazing I am still working on showing up with a few friends that week just to see the most famous vacuum cleaner museum .

It's going to be an interesting visit I am sure as you are a vacuum genius plus it's connected to the wonderful vacuum manufacturer Tacony vacuums made right here in the good ole USA .

I am in LOVE with all my Tacony vacuums I have purchased from you and can't wait to purchase more of the exciting new models . Everyone will be able to purchase awesome vacuums at equally awesome prices .

The museum is outstanding. Seems like there were some other attractions on the way, like a really big rocking chair.

I was most impressed by the old Airway upright vacuums. My only disappointment was that Tom didn't have his signature Airway canister on display at the time of my visit. But with so many vacuums, he can't display all at once.

 

[dysonman1]

The Tom Gasko Air-Way Signature Series model will be on display, along with the entire Air-Way vacuum collection.

Thanks for the kind words guys. Anyone who has visited has left with a smile on their face - it's really a 'one of a kind' experience.

Where else could you use a 1909 Hoover, followed by a 1966 Electrolux Hospital model G?

It is not an official part of the VCCC convention

Unnecessary!  It is actually mentioned in the original Convention Notice.  Not cool John.

Doug,

I'm sorry you're upset by that. I'm not stirring any pots in here. It is a fact that the museum/factory is not an officcial event. That's all I said.
I always tell the honest truth. Again, sorry if <span style="text-decoration: underline;">you are upset</span> by that. Not my intention.
John.
