The 2015 VCCC Convention will be held in St. Louis, MO at the Crowne Plaza Airport hotel.  The dates are June 4-7.  These were the only dates that worked to go to the Fox Theater and see Stan Kann's collection and possibly play the organ.  That being said the convention schedule will be a bit different than the past.  On Thursday, anyone who wants to see the Tacony factory and museum will be able too, that day.  The plan now is to depart around 9am.  The formal convention will open at 7 pm at the hotel.  Friday will be spent at the hotel with our meeting and contests.  Saturday we will visit the Fox Theater and have our banquet.  The registration form and other details will be out in the next few months.  I am hoping our website will be up and working to post everything.  Thank you, Barb

Barb,

 

We can always depend on you!  You do such a wonderful job of organizing and communicating.  Looking forward to returning to St. Louis.  I am so glad we may get the chance to hear the organ at the Fox Theater.  We were hoping to hear it the last time we were there and it didn't happen.  Stan's Collection is priceless.  I will plan at this point to arrive on Wednesday and will be able to help you get set up on Thursday.  Looking forward to another wonderful convention.

 

Again, Thanks for being such a wonderful supporter of the VCCC and all that you do!  You are AWESOME!

 

I have been in contact with Pete about our Website, however with the wedding and honeymoon, I am sure things have been delayed.  As many of you know Pete is Dave Olsen's partner and they were recently married.  It takes time to plan and get organized for such and event.  I am sure once things calm down we will have the new website up and running.  

 

Morgan

Oooppppssss!!!

 

I can't attend next year.  That is the same weekend as our Iowa Annual Conference.  I am the delegate this year for St. Luke's UMC and will be staying in DesMoines that weekend.

 

Sorry!

I'll be there, I believe Joe Kassock will be going too. We'll get there Wed p.m. so we can lesiurely get started on Thursday. It'll be great to see everyone again. It will also be a thrill to stand in that beautiful Fox Theatre. Barb, thanks for everything you do and for making everything so clearly outlined.

I'll be there!

That's for darn sure! I'm gonna win that cleaning contest next year with my trusty old Sanitaire. I'll also bring some machines that I didn't bring last year. My Panasonic Jet-Flo, a few old HOOVERS, a Eureka or two, and of course some Kirbys!

I live 15 minutes from the hotel and everyone is welcome to stop by for a tour of my collection and go garage shopping and enjoy themselves

garage shopping is that like shopping for a new model of garage because I hate mine it's too small even though it's double I could use a triple one or at least room for a golf cart.

Mark, my garage is full of machines, parts, bags, and whatever that I just throw in there when I need to empty the car or clean the house in 10 seconds and many of the vacheads that come over make a straight beeline there and do not leave empty handed, so bring your shopping lists and prepare to dig and get dirty

They make a beeline to the garage? That seems rude, I would stop to chat about vacuums and do some Hoovering before picking apart your garage! laughing

"I've Seen It"

It's true. Most of Alex's St. Louis vac collector friends make a bee line to the garage. We've already spent a lot of time with him before hand, so the garage is where the treasures are. Last time I visited Alex (before the Ferguson Riots), he gave me a Kirby model 2C, 2 Kenmore canisters from the early 1960's, a Hoover 87, an Electrolux Olympia One, and a set of Hoover model 65 attachments. Also, a beautiful Hoover model 66 Convertible. Now you see why that bee line to the garage happens. After the garage, we gathered in his living room/dining room for Pizza (and to run his PRISTINE Electrolux bronze model G - in the original box).
Alex is a great guy and has been a good friend to myself and the Vacuum Collectors Group for many years now.
