Memorial day vacuum convention

My friend Brandon sent me a brand new Kirby Avalir 2 for my recent birthday on May 20. We kept it in the box until our memorial day weekend convention. Here it is, just unboxed.

I decided to add this Kirby to the collection on display at the vacuum cleaner museum at my vacuum cleaner shop.

I invited a number of friends over to my store as well as to my house for a memorial day celebration. A convention of vacuum collectors. Here is my friend Adam, my Kirby expert, enjoying the new machine at the shop.

My very good friend, Robert, drove four hours from Quincy, Illinois to attend our vacuum collectors convention.

My friend Robert found this Hoovrah Power drive on Facebook marketplace for a song. It’s in beautiful condition. He gave it to me as a gift. Thank you Robert. It cleans so well.

Even our resident Kirby guru, Adam, had to try the Hoovrah.

My good friend Kyle drove three hours to attend. Thank you so much for doing the dusting in the formal dining room with the Modern Day central vac.

Robert was running the perfect battery powered power nozzle with the modern day central vacuum. It does such a great job and picks up everything.

Taking a break to eat a little lunch. Grilled hotdogs. Pulled pork with Red Bridges Lodge barbecue sauce. Au gratin potatoes. Sweet corn. So good.

So good. The barbecue sauce came courtesy of Hans Craig. It is the quintessential North Carolina style vinegar-based barbecue sauce. The best in this country.

One of my very good, and very long time friends, Evan Rogers, trying out an Air-Way 5 with his new battery powered Wessel Werks Power nozzle.

My new to me Air-Way Mark 5 with the exclusive horizontal carry handle. Huge thank you to my friend Robert for finding it for me on Facebook marketplace. It was worth every penny of $50. Now that it has a HEPA disposable bag in it, it is unbeatable.
