Hi iam not new to collecting but am new to talking to collectors. I heard there are vacuum cleaner collectors conventions i know there is one in saint louis but that is a long way from where i live so i was wondering if there are any conventions closer to me or is it worth it to fly to saint louis which would mean saving up a lot i really want to see the museum and all also i was wondering when it would be i know it super early in the year and it probably has not been scheduled yet but are there any guesses also is this conventions good for younger but seasoned collectors also if i go what would i expect to see vacuum wise thanks in advance AcDirtDevil

Yes.
The VCCC convention is open for dues paying members and their guest(s).. also requiring a fee. They are always a fantastic time. Anyone who has ever been to one can tell you.
It is a totally separate function from anything else going on in St. James. Some members may take advantage of the opportunity to visit Tacony, if they wish. But, it is a totally separate fuunction. | ||

To make a correction to a statement above, to attend the VCCC convention, one needs to be a member of the Vacuum Cleaner Collector's Club -- the Vacuum Cleaner Collector's Club and Vacuumland.org are two completely separate entities. | ||

The VCCC conventions are the Best! There is never a dull moment. Our Convention Planners have a full agenda for the entire time. Barb sent out a thread that I thought included the hotel and airport information. Perhaps we can get her to repost that information.
I have to miss this year as I have another important meeting scheduled at the same time. You won't regret coming and being a part of this wonderful group of collectors. We have some of the most knowledgable collectors that can assist with repairs, have accurate history information and just plain fun to be around. | ||

AcDirtDeviler,
If you go to the Vacuumland main page and click on Vacuum Clubs, you will see a link to join our group. You can also send a note to: gottahaveahoove and he will also be able to assist you. As treasurer I will know when you have sent your dues through Paypal and place you on our roster. Morgan | ||

Aiden, it's being held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel near the airport, Lambert Field, St. Louis. It's a great hotel that went through a complete remodel I believe in 2013. Most of the airlines here use it to put up stranded passengers when they can accomodate us. People should be well accomodated for our convention. | ||

If you come all the way to St. Louis, and don't visit the Vacuum Cleaner Museum, you're really missing something. That would be like going to Washington DC, and not going to see the White House. The Vacuum Museum is the mecca for vacuum collectors. Where else could you see (and RUN) virtually every model vacuum ever made? And, at the same time, see 216 American workers building vacuums from the ground up? The Factory where Simplicity, Riccar, and Maytag vacuums are made is located in the same building as the Vacuum Cleaner Museum.
