Convention was a great Success!

Shane, Thanks for coming with us on Thursday. The convention was very successful! Many people told me it's the best convention that they have attended in three years! I found a couple of new finds! I purchased a bicentennial convertible from Ken Hendrick. Thanks again, Ken and it was nice meeting you! I also purchased a U4123 from Shane.

The convention went by so fast! I asked John Pease if I could use some of his photos. My sister who does digital film editing for a local company is going to create a promotional video for the VCCC! Here are some pictures from the convention room. We had many machines for sale this year!

Kirby Ball Launcher

Houston Conner built this himself! It's a Kirby ball launcher. Whoever can get the most balls in the baskets won! How intuitive!

We also had our cleaning contests! Which are always fun!

I'm so glad the VCCC finally had the privilege to see Phillip Muller's collection. He has worked so hard on his collection and house this past year!

Phillip's collection #2

Phillip's mini meet house. His living room is decorated in 1960's decor. So appropriate for a vacuum collector.

After we left Phillip's we went to Houston Conner's home for a pool party! Thanks again, Houston for opening your home to the club!

Kenny asked me to make more iced tea

before I left for the airport. I made 3 batches of it for the party. Either people really liked it, OR, they were VERY thirsty.
I hope you enjoy it, Kenny.

Looking forward to lots more photos.
It was a fast-paced, yet stress-free convention, for the most part.
The election results will be posted soon, too, I hope.
Today, back to reality.
Actually, today, our department at the college had it's final 'meeting' for the year. It was a picnic on the picnic grounds of the college. Early this a.m., I went to the store to get some fruit. I ,made a fresh fruit salad.
I spied, in the corner, a Hoover Convertible. Our secretary, Kim, found it at a church flea market, thought of me, and brought it. How kind, she is!
