 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! CLICK HERE TO GO TO kloveland's LINK | ||

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. | ||

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............... John | ||

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!

Free Vacuums for VCCC Convention attendees
These vacuums are free to those who attend the VCCC Convention in Tulsa! I will probably add some more to the pile as I continue to go through them. As always we will have a big free/ for sale pile at the convention.
Hope to see you there. Thanks, Kenny! | ||

Sean,
I told Shaylee that if she let the chickens out that day I was going to tie her up and leave her in the storm celler lol The chickens will be put up. The famous Pugs however will meet and greet for a bit. Please make sure you rub Ivory's belly it's very important to her. I'm so excited for this year.... Oh and ps. not only do the chickens void warranty, they also kill the trade in value but only on Volvos. I didn't get squat out of my Volvo | ||

Trying To see if I can get the days off. I want to go, but, it's a 16 hour drive from here in NC. The room is also quite expensive, I don't have a disposable income, sadly lol. So, I would need to room with someone or would need to figure something out. I don't want to miss out on another convention.

I'm getting excited but also saying whoa slow down I still have much to do.
I almost have the upright room finished or at least temporarily finished. I may just stop where its at now because I really need to get the vacuums out of storage and serviced. Please understand these rooms were thrown together quickly for the convention and may not be quite perfect. It was a huge undertaking building the upright and canister rooms. The canister room I still need to knock out one wall to open it up more, paint, carpet, finish risers, and get vacuums set up. I'm getting electric hooked up tonight so I can now work in there at night. woohoo. Some of the local members here have offered to come by and help me get the vacuums serviced and with that help I may just be able to pull this off. | ||

So very disappointed......... Looks like I am not going to make the convention this year. Purely a matter of economics (or lack thereof!). Airfares from Lauderdale are prohibitive. All the nonsense with Kevin has drained my finances (and it's still not over, as he continues to fight everything). He sued me for legal costs and won! Costing me thousands of dollars. The trip to Buffalo in March when my Dad passed was quite costly. AND..... there's the puppy. Sadie came to live with us about 6 weeks ago. She is a blue nosed Pitt and the cutest thing you ever saw. She is the light of my life. You can't beat the unconditional love of a pup. But boarding her for the time I would be gone adds to the cost. Know that I will miss you all so very much. I've made some terrific friends in the VCCC and was looking so forward to Tulsa. It really hurts to have to make these "adult" decisions.
Have a great time, think of me and enjoy the events!
Greg | ||

Sean!!
It will be fantastic to reunite with you, too. WE ALWAYS have a great time. Yes, indeed, I've made life-long friends through this VCCC. I've also been able to see a lot of the U.S.through the VCCC.
Some of these friendships are very special to me. Some people, I only see once a year. Others, I see often. I've hosted many mini meets, and have had great times. Some really enjoy coming back to my home, some even staying there. Some will never do that again. They've made fun of me (not good fun), at MY expense....doing things, mocking me, etc. They've eaten their last meal, spent their last night, and attended their last mini meet..To quote Miss Joan Crawford, "For reasons which are well known to them". So, in a few short weeks, we'll all be together in TULSA, OKLAHOMA. YAY! | ||

Greg,
I'm so very sorry you won't be able to attend but use this time to relax and reflect on good vibes and try to forget about all the crap, it will eventually be over. Yes we will think of you and miss you. Sean, I remember the first time I met you and thought holy cow who's this person, I could listen to him tell a story ALL DAY and then have my sides stitched up from side splitting laughter. I'm so glad to call you my friend and care for you very much. John, same as above. I can listen to you ALL DAY too. Remember Mel Brooks and Carl Riener the 2000 year old man where the two of them would totally ad lib and entire dialog? You two could so do that and make $$millions. Thank you all for being in my life. Lots of love to you all and I can't wait to see you. | ||

I would hope that...
The very few people in the world that are interested in vacuums would somehow be able to keep such a great convention focused on the machines rather than petty squabbles and personality differences. Vacuum enthusiasts are so rare that everyone should just appreciate each others company.
If I would ever choose to attend such an event, I would certainly be greatly disappointed to witness high levels of drama. Bill | ||

That is unusual and yet, interesting.
A few years ago, I took out a wall in my house. Several things fell out onto the floor. One was an old yardstick from the "Pittston Paint and Wallpaper Company'. long out of business. I also have one from a store from a chain managed by my late brother. I've kept both, of course. You just never know what you'll find, or whom else appreciates it.

Me too! Bill knows his Kirbys after all he owns an authorized Kirby repair center. I know some of our club members will go home with treasures this year. In fact we might be overwhelmed with vacs this year in addition to our big for sale and free piles. It's going to be a wonderful convention! And it's less than two weeks away!

I really appreciate that John! I know I will need some help browning the meat. We could even use one of my Hoover frying pans. I know you will feel at home in my kitchen with the Hoover blender, can opener, mixer and electric knife if we need it. Hopefully, we can whip up something for a dessert as well.

I thought I'd send a box of materials ahead.
I went to the post office. $79.00 to ship a BOX !!!!!
So, I may be checking a bag. Outrageous. But, the shirts, gloves, hazmat suit (kidding) (?) etc are all packed. Some people never got the 'glove thing'. That's unfortunate. I'll be helping Kenny cook, and will bake something. Maybe, if he likes, I'll even make that famous (notorious) "Pittston Hospital Iced Tea". I've started making it again, as it is so hot now. Most people love it. Only one of my friends doesn't prefer it. That's OK, too. | ||

I got the grass cut yesterday after school.
Bag is ready, recipes are in it, a special item for the raffle is ready. Some people might REALLY appreciate/enjoy it. I had it made in Philadelphia. You'll see it soon.
Leaving Pittston at 5:15 tonight. Will be great to see everyone. I heard the true count of attendees is just OVER 30, an actual number. "Safe travels, everyone" John | ||

We just arrived at hotel for early check in. Shaylee worked all night and I was up all night trying to get it all done. My mom has been a huge help with getting things done, you will all get to meet Mommy and she just may be making dessert for Friday. We are going to take a nap for a while as we are dead tired.
The last 2 weeks have been hugely stressful with my contractor not showing up, then when he did show up just left piles of junk everywhere. He didn't come at all this week even though he was supposed to finish the area where we will eat. So last second change of plans and we will now eat in another room lol also I couldn't get all the vacuums unpack from storage until he was done with electric. I finally gave up this week and got them unpacked. They are not polished or serviced and you will have to check for a bag before playing with anything but hey its all good. Finally my father in law late last night got part of the electrical done so we will have light and air in the mini meet room. Thank God I can relax. | ||

Well, finally am able to post!!!!
It's been a whirlwind! SOOOOO much fun, so many activities.
It's now over. Most people are on their way home now. My flight doesn't leave until 6:00 p.m. A lot of us arrived Wed p.m. The hotel is fantastic! Thursday morning, a few of us went to B.M.X. Gary's. A lot of us have bought things from him in the past. We got to go to his place. However, one sad, actually 'pathetic' incident occured. BEFORE we got there,someone who discovered we were going to visit Gary contacted him, telling HIM not to let US in his place. A few unpleasant things were said. However, Gary and his wife were, first, dumbfounded, then laughed. AND, then, he welcomed us all in to search everywhere for treasures. And, we did. IF we had more time, and better lighting, we'd have found more. We all left with fun things. A great time, indeed. It only got better after that. We had our board meeting at Kenny Loveland 's home. I made home made cupcakes and gallons of "Pittston Hospital Iced Tea". Then, the next day, we were off to Phillip's and Shaylee's place. So rural, so much potential, so much construction. We enjoyed a great lunch, saw SO many machines, etc. Then, on to Houston's and Scott's beautiful home. Again, a great meal, a beautiful pool, we even were entertained with showtunes on a pump organ. (I'm sure it was never intended for that!) Miss Tania even resembled Miss Esther Williams,in the beautiful in ground pool... competing with Sean Curry .. ( who replicates a mean Million Dollar Mermaid). Next day, amidst, meetings, contests, vacccum fun, flea markets, etc, onto kenny's beautiful 1960's period home. Again, we enjoyed tacos, tortilllas, dips, salsa, iced tea, cupcakes ,etc. Saturday also saw meetings, excellent discussions, elections, a banquet, (yes, it was a banquet), great contests, including a super fab trivia contest, also, an interesting Kirby clinic, executed by (Dr. Kirby, himself), the one and only Bill Edstrom, with the help of a loyal assistant..... followed by a nice bowl of celebratory Cheetos. (More on that later). Ken Wagman was awarded the annual Ruth Hollander award for outstanding service to The V.C.C.C., the original vacuum cleaner collectors' club. As you can see, nothing could douse the spirits of attendees of The V.C.C.C. More details soon. To put it mildly, a GREAT time was had by all! This post was last edited 06/25/2017 at 15:44 | ||

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.

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! | ||

The positions listed below were up this year. We added a new position, General Media and Content Manager. This position will handle our new club Facebook group, help the Newsletter Editor with content and help promote our club through social media outlets. Our new General Media and Content Manager, Houston Conner has done a wonderful job promoting our convention through Facebook this year! We are glad to have him on the board. We are also happy to have Tyler Morris on the board. Tyler has expressed interest in having a position on the V.C.C.C board for quite awhile. I will post more pictures from the V.C.C.C convention tomorrow.

Ken Wagman...
Won the Ruth Hollander award this year! Ken has never missed a V.C.C.C convention since 1996. That's 21 years! He is a strong advocate for our club. I'm glad Ken was the recipient this year! Chad Cunnigham had special trophies made. They light up displaying the V.C.C.C logo. Everyone was in awe! Because they looked so nice!

As John mentioned.......
A few of us went to BMX Garry's on Wednesday morning. Garry was most welcoming to our club. Despite the incident which occurred. I had actually been to Garry's before, Shane introduced me to Garry. Thanks, Shane! There is a group picture of us at Garry's building. Someone has it has it on their phone. I will have to get that from them.

Trophies..
I wanted to post an up-close picture of the trophies that Chad had special made. Chad worked very hard coordinating the making of the trophies and his work really paid off. They looked excellent! Thanks again, Chad!
The Most Innovative award went to Phillip Muller for his commercial Eureka canister with the Don Clark power nozzle.

GREAT PHOTOS!
I'm not on Facebook, so, I usually can't see anything in there. Just think; a week ago, we were at BMX Garry's. then onto other fun activities. It truly was wonderful. Thanks, again, Kenny, for all of your hard work and everyone else's.
That convention was a triumph.... absolutely NO drama of any kind, once that unfortunate, embarrassing event at Garry's. To quote Rick B,'It was the best $90.00 spent". What do you get for that? Simply put: A LOT! CLICK HERE TO GO TO gottahaveahoove's LINK | ||

THanks, Bill, for leting me assist you
during your Kirby clinic. The 'contamination gown', etc. was from Philly. The matching gloves were from Bill himself. Some thought it was humorous (most). Some were waiting to see what would happen this time. Some new people didn't get it due to no background info.
We'll see who gets a nasty letter now. It won't bother me at all. Everything we all did in Oklahoma AND Kansas was done is good, honest fun..... and, at no one else's expense. the way it always should be. Isn't it great to see where other members live? To see their collections? ETC? | ||

 I am SO sorry that I had to change my plans at the last minute, and was not able to attend the meeting. It was a big disappointment, because I was looking forward to seeing everyone. I was with you all in spirit. It is great to see you all in these pictures. I hope to be able to make it to Spokane next year. | ||

Shaylee and I were so blessed to have all of you at our home!!! Thank you so much for coming. I can't wait to post pics of when it's all finished.
Sean, I hate to admit this but the collection wasn't quite in it's entirety..... Yes theres more that I didn't have time to bring from storage. There were a lot of empty spaces in the canister room. All of my Electrolux cleaners were missing and all of my Kirby vacs were put away as well as a small plethora of miscellaneous vacuums. maybe a total of 80 vacuums were not present....... Hi my name is Phillip and I'm a hoarder haha All 5 of the Pugs (oldest to youngerst, Champ, Johnny, June, Ebony and Ivory) were very sorry their lame Daddy ran out of time to pick them up from the sitter so they could meet everyone. They told me to tell you all bark bark bark sniff sniff lick lick sneeze | ||
