This past weekend I hosted a mini-meet at my house in Tulsa, OK. Chad Cunningham came down from Kansas City. Sean and Will drove in from Texas. Phillip and his wife Shaylee drove in from Kansas. We attended the Volkswagen Car show visited, a few thrift stores and went to the local flea market. We also ate dinner at a mexican restaurant in the Blue Dome District located in downtown Tulsa. We all had a fun time!
Here I am preparing for mini-meet. Vacuuming my house with my Hoover Convertible 65 that Chad purchased for me at an estate sale. Sadly, I only have one vacuum from a family member my Classic Omega which was my grandmothers. I’m being Honest!

Here are some more pics
I had fun setting up all of my vacuums for the mini-meet. Here are a few pictures. The camera quality is not that great! My camera is old.

Thanks Bill and James.
Bill I still have the G5 and use it regularly. Mini-meets are always so much fun! Although Sean Curry is one of the best hosts for mini-meets that I've have had the privilege of attending. I don't think mine turned out bad. Sean and Will brought me a golden Lewyt, Singer S4 upright and attachments from the Amarillo haul. Sean found a Floor-A-Matic and green Hoover Decade 80 at an estate sale. And I purchased a Hoover Concept One from Phillip Muller. Thanks for the vacs Guys! I'll post some pictures of those vacs soon! Thanks to those who took vacs. I'm glad that they went to good homes!

A Handsome Collection . . . And very nicely displayed, each one on the carpet and ready to go! I especially like the turquoise Constellation, IMHO one of the best colors for that vac. | ||

Thanks Luke,
I really enjoyed seeing your collection at this year’s convention. It was great! Here is a picture of the JCPenney upright and some of my new Lewyt . | ||

Kenny, I wish my mother and I could have attended. It sounds like you all had a really good time. You have a really nice collection, and it looks like you have room to expand! We will have to see your house some other time. Scott | ||

Hi Scott,
I really wish you had attended as well. There is always next time. I know that you are a busy guy with your scout troop and all. Here are some pictures of the Volkswagen show and my Singer S4. Those Singers were great vacuums with all of the features in the handle. I'm glad to have a nice one! I had one before and it had bearing issues. It went to Phillip. Accessing the motor on one of those seems to be difficult. | ||

I have this unusual orange Convertible that is a color departure for Hoover, though I know they made others in orange. I love it. That Singer is sure pretty, too.

Looks like all had fun!!!
Very nice collection of interesting machines. Many of which would be neat to try. I would like to try one of those Hoover PowerMax uprights sometime. That's one I don't believe I've ever tried. The older TriStar would be great to use and that older Royal Princess--I believe-- I would really love to try cause it looks very cool. I must say that I'm quite proud to see 2 Hoover Celebrity powerteams present.
