This is has to be the most unusual site I have ever visited. Why is there no "contact us" option? All I want to know is whether the convention in June is open to the general public. I have a 4 year old nephew who is fascinated by vacuum cleaners and I would love to bring him, just for a couple of hours, to see all the cool vacuums, old and new. If the organizers of the meeting (and I surmise, by the info on the convention website, that you live around here) happen to read this please contact me via my email kwiesler@hotmail.com. Thank you.
