The V.C.C.C. Convention
- Thread starter gottahaveahoove
- Start date
Help Support VacuumLand:
I just saw in the paper
that the giant flea market is closing in April. The very old building is slated for demolition.
Other thrift stores, etc, will be posted on our "sheet".

I'm already sorting items for sale and to give away.
A lot of 'vintage machines', parts, etc.
Some new members are very excited about their first convention.
I'm also hoping that the Oreck and 2 Kirbys go. They were never part of my collection.

I also have a large amount of bojack bags
and/or bags for other makes. There are tools, etc, too.

Going to arrange a lot of above the floor
things in the "gallery" and in the diningroom. Different bedrooms will showcase the vacuums. i.e: one bedroom will house Celebrities, canisters, another: groupings of floorwashers, Floormates, etc. One little display of the new TTI items.
(equal time, I guess)
Banners will be out, yay!

I'm getting coffeepots, fondue pots and the like ready
to sell, some use as gifts, prizes, etc.
No need for the "Supermarket" as, I'm not selling here. And, they are all vintage items.
I remember having a minimeet here. We had both a cheese AND chocolate fondue. HOOVER, of course. Now, THAT was fun... casual. Some of these items, I have 3,4,5 of. Will be great to see them go out into the world. Some are already spoken for.
Fun times.

I wish I could attend, but I am still Covid shy and try not to leave my little bubble. Right now Iowa is in one of the safe low categories, no thanks to our idiot governor, Covid Kim. Our local city officials handled Covid so much better.
Although I am fully vaccinated, traveling just doesn't seem comfortable. I know they say planes are safe but I am not buying that. It is all recycled air.
Would love to see your collection as well as Joe's. However, I will not go to any cemetery with you...inside joke that John will understand.
I see no problem with posting on this thread and I believe the reason we do post here is because you have to be a paid member to the Vacuumland.org to post in Misc. It provides a space to communicate these types of items.
Robert does an awesome job here and we should all appreciate the options we have.

Morgan,
I'd take you to that cemetery where it all happened!
The COVID situation here seems very good now. It's really a shame you're not coming. Know that you would be very welcome here.

I'm planning to display all of my
vault machines ( around 20) in a separate space WITH the actual sign for the "Models and Samples Room".
Will be fun.

there'll be..................
a matching Hoover laundry set, various kitchen appliances, giveaways, sale items, prizes, etc. All of the things on my end of this will be HOOVER. Except for the Oreck portable, Electrolux gold anniversary polisher/shampooer, and 2 Kirbys.

we're focusing on all things 'Pennsylvania"
I'm even working on getting all of the snacks that are made here in PA. For example; Hershey chocolate (Hershey, PA is not too far from me), potato chips made here in PA, etc. Snacks will be served in nice, vintage bowls.
We're gathering items from the T.V. show, "The Office', and are working on a possible tour of the Anthracite Museum right here in Scranton.
People are telling me about vintage displays they are planning in the meeting room.
We're actually utilizing 2 meeting rooms: one for sale, raffle items and refreshments (hospitality), and the other for meetings, contests, etc.

I'm trying to get the
carpenter/electrician to do as much as possible in my 'gallery'. What doesn't get done just doesn't.
Eventually, though, it will be perfect.
Got a new phone/camera. Pics to come soon.

HI john:
Could you please explain the meaning of 'BUMP' I see it used in a lot of groups I belong to but haven't a clue to what it stands for.

Sure, Alex
Morgan used it, and, others as well. It was meant to "bump" the thread back to the top.

Gottahaveahoove, yes to the Anthracite Museum
I'm not a VCCC member at this time (I was, long ago) but I want to give my heartfelt endorsement of the idea of touring the Anthracite Museum. For those who have taken the tour, you understand. For those who haven't, it's totally fascinating and very worthwhile. My wife and I took the tour some years back when we visited Steamtown, and we really enjoyed it.
And on the topic of food made in PA, don't forget Wilbur Buds, made in Lititz, PA since 1894, and the forerunner to Hershey's Kisses, which were invented in 1907.

I have a friend who could arrange a tour of
the museum ... at a great rate!./ The mine , itself, might be a bit much for some.
But, it is all very rich in history of our area. I went into the mine on a school trip. Every child in the area should go in it and see what our ancestors went through.
I'm also going to arrange a visit to a vac shop. Lots to do.
