I have totes full of vintage cloth bags, new old stock vintage brush rolls, new old stock disposable bags, as well as many repair parts for vintage machines that will be for sale.

Possibly it’s because you’re in France.

Tom, if the logistics of planning the convention is what's leading you to stop doing it yearly, then why not have some of your collector friends in the St Louis area help out if they can with the planning? Surely it couldn't be that difficult if you had help, and I bet they would do it to keep the convention going. It's one event I am sure a LOT of American collectors look forward to.

I'm really sorry I couldn't make it this year.

Is it just me or is the article not say why it's going to be the last?

really excited

Really excited about the convention, I'll be arriving later today, really sorry to hear that this will probably be the last one, I've been coming to them since 2016 and they have all been great.

convention was great

The convention this year was awesome, it was great seeing everyone again and the cleaning contest was lots of fun, we had three winners this year, and, at least for me, the cleaners that won were not what I expected.

It was great seeing you again Mike. You proved that the Sebo power nozzle actually cleans. I just knew you were going to be one of the winners. Congratulations again.

Nope, I’ve scrolled the entire page and it did not say as to why it was ending, there was more ads than the words in the article so it kind of seems suspicious like as in is it a way for advert makers to make a lot of money

“Suspicious”?

No.
That’s just the way online news media works. It’s no different than newspapers being full of advertisements.

My Kirby Heritage used and explained by Adam, the king of Kirby‘s.

Pasta salad for 50 vacuum collectors, made with creamy Italian dressing from Piscotti’s‘s pizza restaurant. So good.

What was supposed to be a half sheet pan cake turned into a full sheet cake. No matter, it was delicious.

 

[dysonman1]

Look what we found. The prototype for the Kirby generation three brush roll. Chicago Mike is ecstatic over it.

The winners

As always the food was good and the company and conversation was amazing.

I helped Adam out with a beautiful Model G and Charlie Watrous brought him the power nozzle. What an amazing machine. The convention certainly brings things that everybody wants.
