Announcing: Central Illinois Wash Party
This is an open invitation.
The weekend of August 7, 8 and 9 are the dates for the upcoming Central Illinois Wash Party, hosted by Mike (dishwashercrazy) of West Peoria, and Gary (abcomatic) of Bradford.
Gary’s home is a 1897 Midwestern Queen Ann Victorian located about 40 north of Peoria, and features a 14 Rank 1906 Estey Hinners Pipe Organ. The home was built as a wedding present for the first owner. Gary’s Washing Machine collection features several mainly wringer washers (1955 ABC Round Tub, 1958 ABC Round Tub, 1949 Dexter double-tub, 1954 Maytag Commander Square Tub, 1973 Maytag Master Square Tub, 1930’s Maytag Gray Ghost Square Tub, mid-1950’s Easy Washer/Spinner, and 1954 ABC Gas Dryer). Some machines are operational, some not. Saturday mid-afternoon and evening activities will take place at Gary’s, and will include dinner, a short organ concert, and of course some “wash action”.
Mike’s home is a more modest 1923 Colonial, which will be stuffed with no fewer than 4 Electric Sink/Dishwashers (1948 & 1949 operating GE’s, 1937 non-operating GE, 1950 Sears Homart), at least 10 other dishwashers (1948 & 1950 Hotpoint, 1951 & 1956 GE Drawer, 1954 Westinghouse Drawer, 1950’s James, 1958 GE MobileMaid, 1955 KitchenAid KD-11P, 1960 KitchenAid KD-12, 1973 KitchenAid KDS-17), 1975 Poppy Red Frigidaire 1-18 Washer, 1958 Pink Maytag P124 Automatic, 1946 Maytag Square Tub, late 1950’s Dexter Double-Tub Wringer, late 1950’s Easy Washer/Spinner, 1990 GE Filter Flow with Mini-Basket, and a few more later model washers. The weekend activities (other than the time spent at Gary's on Saturday) taking place at Mike’s home will heavily feature the dishwashers, several of which will be fitted with Plexiglas for full viewing. There will also be a large selection of service manuals and other literature from various companies to look through; a full complement of GE Appliance Parts Listing from the 1940’s to 1970’s for viewing; plus other activities in the works.
Peoria is situated in the heart of Illinois, about mid-way between Chicago (3 hours drive) and St. Louis (3 ½ hours drive). Interstate I74 passes through Peoria between the Quad Cities, from the northwest, heading toward Champaign and Danville to the East. The Peoria airport has flights by United Express from Chicago and Denver; flights by American Eagle from Chicago and Dallas/Fort Worth; flights by Northwest Airlink from Detroit and Minneapolis; flights by Delta Connection from Atlanta; and flights by Allegiant Airlines from Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Tampa/ St. Petersburg. Bus service is also available 4-times per day from Chicago O’Hare and Midway Airports.
Contact Mike for more information at [email protected].
RSVP at [email protected] by August 1, 2009. We look forward to hearing from you if you can work this weekend into your schedules.
Since this announcement is posted in ‘Super’ I’ll rely periodically to keep the post from falling off the list.
