I had my first official mini meet over the weekend in the Southeast part of Kansas.
Chad, Kenny, Will, and Corey all came to my home from KC, Tulsa, Wichita, and Dallas area. We had a blast but there's just not enough time in a weekend to do everything. My area was having a 100 mile yard sale hitting every town within a 100 mile radius. Will came in Friday afternoon and crashed at my house. Chad and Kenny also came in Friday afternoon and stayed in town. We played with vacuums in the mini meet rooms till pretty late. After Chad and Kenny left Will and I sat up till sun up taking about vacuums and such. Shaylee got home from work (12 hour nursing shift) and made us all breakfast before she went to bed. Corey arrived sometime during breakfast. We hit the road and by about 4 decided to call it quits and head back to my house... That's when things got interesting. As driving through Coffeyville Ks I was telling a story about a vac shop that had been there many decades that just closed as the owner died. As we drove by it, doors were open and old vacs all over the parking lot. We pulled in and spent a LOT of time going through the shop then the old mans grand daughter asked if we would like to see his house which was a vacuum hoard. I knew the old man very well and that helped her be comfortable with us going through his house. OMG it was like an episode off Hoarders. It was all vacuums everywhere. We started off spending an hour or 2 in the dumpster in the front yard which was FULL of vacuums and old advertisements. After we finished up with that it was super late and everyone had to get back that night. We never made it back to my house for more vacuum play but there will be other times. Will did stay another night since he had the furthest to drive. He left about 6pm Sunday night. We sat and serviced vacs all Sunday.
My phone was dead and so I didn't get any pics but the others dd so I will rely on them to get pics posted.
