VCCC Convention

[kloveland]

<p class="MsoNormal">Just a reminder the annual VCCC convention will be on June 22-24th in Tulsa, OK. Houston Conner has graciously opened his home to host a pool party and to see his collection of vacuums and other vintage items.  Please see the revised schedule of events on the VCCC website (click the link below). Hope to see you in Tulsa!</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Yes Phillip its close. It’s nice that we have our convention in a different place every year and can see other member’s homes/collections. Phillip, myself and few others have been planning the VCCC convention since last year and will have some additional door prizes this year. We will also have the raffle this year as well. </p>

Joe Kassock and I are looking into DRIVING!!

If there's anyone else around us interested, I'm sure it will be an experience.
These conventions are ALWAYS great.
It's a great time to reconnect, meet new folks, share, learn, etc. The V.C.C.C. is a great club, groups of great people who share a passion for vacuums, etc. THere has only been one V.C.C.C., although it has evolved over the years, as does everything.It has never disbanded and a new one generated from scratch. If anyone is interested, I urge you to check us out.
Happy Hoovering...............

Great photo, Kenny!

I'll be registering next week. Joe is getting back to me on the trip. It's far, but SO worth the trip. It's great to see everyone again, share good times, a meal, develop new friendships. Mostly very drama free.
Hoping to see you all at the good old V.C.C.C. again this year.

Thanks John!

I didn’t actually create the photo. My friend Houston did. I thought it looked nice! Everything is shaping up to be a wonderful convention. I’m looking forward it! We have several activities planned (see the Schedule of Events). We are going to three collectors homes this year. We also have several nice thrift stores in Tulsa and a BIG flea market! There will be plenty of things to do and places to see!

I've been told it's a

22 hour drive, then it's a 13 hour drive. I'm still waiting to hear from Joe Kassock. I also have to book my room. Not sure if anyone else needs a roomie.
Getting things ready. It will be great to see everyone again. There might even be some new faces. Starting the countdown!!

I'm also getting a "Care Package"

of bojack disposable bags I've accumulated over the year for others to have. I never use them but, sometimes they are included in packages of 'genuine' bags."One man's trash is anothers'...........................

 

[kloveland]

I'll use bojack! As long as they fit. I'm also going to have a big free pile of vacuum cleaners. I'll post pictures as the date moves closer. Did I mention FREE!!! We are also preparing some informational brochures on Tulsa with places to eat and sights to see.

I too am hoping to have some stuff to go bye bye. Come with empty luggage.

It pains me to say...

That unfortunately, I will not be able to attend this year. The thought of not going to the Convention gives me a sick feeling, but it's too far to go, and too much money. I do plan to attend 2018 and future Conventions though, if at all possible. I want to see lots of pictures!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

It's a shame you won't be there.

WE always enjoy when you're there.
