The V.C.C.C. Convention
- Thread starter gottahaveahoove
- Start date
Help Support VacuumLand:
Tom Anderson is coming here
the weekend of June 4. He was coming for the convention, but is celebrating his anniversary. I'll take him all around: Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, etc. He'll be shown everything. He'll also be a great help to me. Pics will follow when that happens. It will be great to have him here, even if it's not the actual dates of the convention. He would be welcome at the event, because it was his choice to leave, in good standing.
He'll help me with a lot of my vintage Hoovers, too. Looking forward to Tom's visit to Northeast PA !

Of course, I'll still visit North Canton
in August. Who knows what great vintage machines we'll find??

Tom and I will
even visit a few local vac shops, if he'd like.
There are a few machines of mine he night take a look at. I even have a very nice surprise for him.

I just came from Home Depot. I got large pots for
flowers, and a bedroom knob with a lock... to keep the cats safe during the visit here. None of the bedroom doors has locks. But, the kitties will "camp out" in a spare room, as, their apt will be full of Hoovers, parts, paperwork, etc.

Finally, we can plant outdoor flowers
people plant a little too early.
, so, I'll select one of each. A shame. I have both Michael Turner's AND Glenn Deist's 69.

I'm starting to get things at the store.
It's a lot to prepare. We're having some nice, tasty snacks, too.
One of the nice things about the convention being in different cities is we get to see various areas, different members' home, collections, etc. It's always new. Nobody complains about getting machines here and there. Sometimes, due to travel, we cannot bring our machines. Other times, we can. That's part of it being in different places. It's always 'fresh'.
Some have liked seeing the "preparations" through this thread. Some don't care. Others are annoyed. But, it isn't their concern anyway.
So, enjoy the "process", until the real event.
Thanks.

We've been to wondeful places
and have seen great people's homes. I joined in 2008, in time for Hoover's big birthday celebration.
Luckily, I missed some previous drama, although, we've gotten leftover fallout from that time.
But, we're constantly looking 'foreword', and I hope everyone enjoys this convention.

“previous drama”…why bring it up now???
That’s unnecessary.

Did we
miss something?

Gathering up paperwork,
including 10 yrs of "Newsies", owner's manuals, etc. I'm preparing a nice filing cabinet for them.

We'll take and post lots of pics for sure.
The members are , of course, invited to my home, as part of the events.
There are some who simply are not invited and will not be welcomed. Sad that has to be, but, it "is what it is".
But the rest, "hey, welcome to the 'palace'...again, a name given to the place by 3 different people, not by me. It's just a big old house, but, it is my home. It has opened it's door to people for over 140 years, survived coal mine subsidence, "The Great Depression", etc. Good people, good food, good fun. It's all good.

Over the years, I've gotten to visit places
I'd never have seen. I've been to Texas, Ohio, Oklahoma, Minneapolis, Oregon, etc.We've been to so many people's homes. enjoyed their collections, etc.
So, it's always fresh. The food is different, the climate, the attractions, the collections....
And, every 'convention' incurs a cost. People go to eateries, stay in hotels, motels, etc. So, there IS always a cost, contrary to belief.

And, through this club, like so many others
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">I've met some wonderful people. Some have become lifelong friends.</span>
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;"> Some are quirky, fun, kind. And, as in everyday life, I've encountered some very unusual people too. </span>

reminding all to reserve your rooms
getting things ready for all of you.

The food to be prepared is
gradually making it's way into the house. I'm trusting it will all be delicious, and, that my guests will enjoy it.
It will all be made from scratch.
Hoover (vintage) appliances abound.

One vac store, sadly, is a no go
But, the other one will be great. More info on that soon.

Now, I'm working on
The Anthracite Museum.
It truly is amazing. We were once a major source of anthracite coal. This museum is rich in history. There are several other authentic museums around here too. A coworker of mine at the college is on this museum board, and is arranging something great. They'll be listed on our paper.
