The V.C.C.C. Convention

[gottahaveahoove]

Things are aligning nicely.

And, Tom Anderson  is coming to visit this Thursday. He'll be a great help. Plus, I'll be able to show him around our area. Vintage cleaners will be run   a lot.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

We might even 'spiff up' the city while we're at

I know both cities (Wilkes-Barre and Scranton are stops on our list.


 He did mention wanting to visit The Dunmore Candy Kitchen..possible to take some chocolates back to N Canton. (It's his wedding anniversary soon.).  Whatever he'd like to do, we'll do.  I'll show him the old location of the late Betty Fritz , Gnall Jones, (written up  a few times in The Hoover News), etc.


Joe Kassock  will join us for dinner one night.


He will be a great help to me. True friends, indeed.

Tom will be here tomorrow p.m.

I'm not ready, but......................


 It will be sooo good to have him herein Pittston, finally...after all these years.


I hope the 'guests' who share the house with me 'behave' during the convention.


   I know the kitties are being secured in a spare room.  Harold has NEVER seen the room he'll be in.  Should be interesting.  Still waiting for a carpenter.  Some stuff simply  will not be finished.  Very hard to secure a carpenter/electrician, cement guy at the moment.  They are busy, or (my) regular guy is treating Cancer at the moment.  Kinda hard to ask if he can stop over after radiation.  Hope he'll be ok.


 


 I'm making gallons of the 'tea', as, Tom enjoys it too.  Silly little snide remarks about that.  But,  they'll never drink it, so......................

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I'll reserve a little space to display

my modern, TTi stuff, too.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

So, Tom is coming to Pittston later this evening.

It's his first time here. Tom Anderson, to be clear. Tomorrow, I'll show him around the area..pizza for dinner with some of my other friends.


Hoovers were humming (vintage) for his arrival.


 Stay tuned.


 

 

[gottahaveahoove]

He's here!

We've been friends for 14 years, and it's the 1st time he's ever been here.


  There are lots of things to do, and places to see.


  He'll help me immensely with display ideas, etc.

Going through Vintage bags and belts to give away

This morning Tom and I are going through bags of Bojack things to give away free of charge at the convention it’s amazing that things were finding

 

[gottahaveahoove]

It’s like Christmas

Tom and I are in a spare room unboxing things to give away sell display etc. it’s like Christmas I am unearthing things I had a long forgotten about isn’t it fun?

JCPenney

We’ve found a beautiful Penncrest floor scrubber that almost matches our beloved Neptune green 69

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Soon, you'll see pics

of us 'spiffing up' the city in preparation.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Working on a huge surprise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't tell yet, would ruin the surprise. But, if all goes well...........................

 

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Eyes will widen, mouths will be agape

(in a good way).  Others might need "paddles".  I'm talking w/ said people soon.


 


Imagine, maybe, seeing a little room full of one   or   two models?  And, why not?   If that brings one joy........ have at it.


 


 Stay tuned.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

taking this Friday and all of next week off.

 Classes end Thursday.  I'll be in 'full steam ahead' mode.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

The schedule is just about complete

Looks like 41 people. There's a lot to do.


 Will be fun!!!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

food and snack purchasing

happening now.  I've gotten  all snacks they'll enjoy  from PA.  They're ALL made here in PA!


 I like details.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

And, I'm happy to say that

the meal to be served at my house will all be home made. I'm proud to say that, and, am glad to be able to do it.


  It can't always be done, I understand.


 I hope everyone will enjoy it.


 

 

[gottahaveahoove]

It's a week today.

Lots to do.  I hope it doesn't rain.


 

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Joe will also be a big help all next week.

We might have to pick up another special little thing.  You'll all see it if it happens.  This thing will be well documented, as are all of the conventions.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I'll be able t oget to the hotel early and get a lot tak

care of. Sale items of mine (some were never part of my actual collection),  multiples, etc.  Nice signage is ready as well.  Hoping to always streamline things.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Directions, lists of local sights,

and some local history are printed.


  I'm also organizing Hoover paperwork.  Such as lots of pics of old Hoover prototypes.  Of course, they have been printed on the forum before.... the Constellation w/ switch on the handle,  Convertible tools, Handisac, and the Convertible itself.


 


None of it is new. I got all of my copies in North Canton, from Tom Anderson.
