After three days of festivities, the 2017 vacuum cleaner collectors convention is over. I want to thank everyone for attending. It went off without a hitch. I want to say a huge thank you to Robert Clow, Donald Pedrola, Miss Mercy and Jody Mayeaux. You guys were awesome. Thanks for all your help with the Barbecue. This convention went off exactly like in the "old" days, before all the drama. Just a bunch of friends, who enjoy a mutual hobby, and actually enjoy being around each other. Absolutely no "cliques". Thanks again to the many, many people who took the time to attend. And it was great to see a number of first timers, like Todd and Steffan and Randy and Allen.

Some pictures from the Saturday extravaganza. We even got Miss Mercy to act a fool with the Hoover hairdryer.

Todd:
It was awesome meeting you. I feel like I've met you before somewhere, we must have been friends in a previous life.. I want to thank you so much for taking the time to attend our event and become part of the group, laugh with us, and have a great time. I can't wait to see you again next year. Second weekend in June. I hope you share the pictures of your Hoover's, after your loving restoration, with all of us. |

You are always welcome to come to the Vacuum Collectors Convention, second weekend in June every year. NO Convention Fee, No membership fee, no Banquet fee, just good friends enjoying vacuums.
As always, I encourage you to consider visiting the Vacuum Cleaner Museum, #3 Industrial Drive, St. James, MO at any time during the year. We are open 9 - 5, Monday through Saturday. I have approximately 400 vacuums on display with approximately 400 more in the storage area above the Factory Floor as well as the store room in the Museum. We are at the Manufacturing factory of Tacony Corporation, who make Maytag, Simplicity, and Riccar vacuum cleaners. Factory tours can also be arranged in advance. Hope to see you. |
