I know someone is setting up a whole
(Hoover) JC Penney display in the meeting room.
I'll be bringing a lot of items to sell, too. It'll be easy, as, I'm only 5 miles from the hotel.

I also have some Kirbys to
part with, as well as an Oreck, Bissel (carpet sweeper), and an anniversary Electrolux.
I'm going to put up all of the vintage Hoover banners I got in N Canton.

There might be a lot of displays
at the hotel. Several 'vignettes' will be at my house too. They'll all be Hoover, of course.

I'm planning out the house display.
Vintage under the "stairs". One can't neglect those stairs.
At the moment, the house looks like Home Depot... Aisles 9 through 18.
