It's that time again. I'm hosting a mini/mega meet next Saturday, april29. I'm trying to reach Mike Gravelin and the NY bunch, as well as Rob Shore. Mark, J.T., Joe Kassock, Greg, Kevin and I will be there so far. I'm looking to plan t a short trip to a vac shop, soe games. video, and a nice diner as well.

Hi John, Sorry to miss that,

but I'll be in Indiana going through boxes of V.C.C.C. paperwork to ship home. Plans are in the works for building a storage shed here in Benton which will become my next display room. As for the mini meet after that, count me in.

Very cool

what vacuum shop will you be visiting ? I think I will plan a trip pack up the Benz with Hoovers and others and join the fun as I am not that far away .

Greg!

Not to worry... Holy Water, Crucifix, etc are ready. We might really need them. I've planned a very nice dinner, as well. Sorry for all of the bad spelling in first post. I was typing too fast. I might even expose some of the cellar dwellers... RELAX, TOM!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Not IN the house, AND, I have a huge supply of GLOVES!

Isn't   Sweeper Central  near your place?

 

[massagemiracle]

I would love to visit a place like this. We don't have anything around here like it.

Hi John, as of right now I plan on being there. I don't plan on bringing any foreign vacs this time. Looking forward to seeing Joel and Mike and perhaps uniting my Hoover Celebrity pieces together!

I haven't heard any word from Mark and JT and have tried to contact Mark! I hope they're ok!

MassageMiracle-- Sweeper Central is John Gregorys store. Most if not all past MiniMeets at Johns involved a trip to this store. However, due to recent friction I don't believe this will be case anymore.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Ben,

Yes, that sweeper shop IS near me. But, I thought you knew that. I believe it is about 9 miles north of Pittston.

 

[scvacuumguy]

You guys sound like a fun bunch, I'd love to come! No matter what a store looks like on the inside, I can't imagine someone making a decent living off of being an internet showroom or competing only with big box stores! Glad we made the decision to carry a little bit of everything.

Christopher!

It's a shame you're so far away. IF you ever find yourself in the Pocono area, please call. It would be great to have you here.
John.

Hey John,

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I wish like heck that there were some way I could come and share my two British Turbopower 1s, my Junior Dirtsearcher, and my Senior Ranger with the gang along with the Convertible that's as old as I am!  Plus, I wish I could finally find out what the heck PHIT (aka Pittston Hospital Iced Tea) is all about.  But alas, </span><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Saturdays are not good days for me due to my work schedule.</span>


 


<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Would you please keep me in mind, however, if you ever hold a meet on a Sunday?  I have never been to one before, and hope that someday I'll be able to attend.  Thanks and best wishes to all for a terrific get-together!</span>

Bill!

Thanks. You should consider coming on a Sunday.... we can have a "mini-meet". You're welcome!!! I'm making gallons of that tea for the weekend.
John.

 

[tazcatsdad]

You're on, my friend!

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">And many, many thanks.  I'll send you an e-mail off forum to see when we can arrange a get-together.  Looking forward to meeting you!</span>

I know you had a blast and know your food was good too.John,watch yourself around any non Hoover cleaner,the word is out they will get you either by cord or hose.Chuckling....
