Hello Gentlemen!
I am working on an idea with a fellow collector/enthusiast. Our idea is to host a small appliance convention for those who collect other appliances besides vacuum cleaners, washers, dryers, mixers, toasters, irons, fans, well, you get the idea!
We could host it at a hotel with a meeting room similar to the way the vacuum cleaner convention is held. We realize this may be a challenge for those who collect large appliances but perhaps those collectors may be willing to host the offsite event at their homes similar to a "wash-in" at a designated point in the convention "weekend".
We need to form a small organizing committee so that we can explore the options: time of year, location, types of attractions, and even events such as making blueberry pancakes with the Sunbeam Waffle Iron and Grill model C1. Fans would be blowing, toasters would be toasting, mixers whirling, and so much more. There would be a for sale area, for trade area, and a free pile, too!
We need to determine if there is any interest in this type of venue. You would not have to be a member of either group per se. Oh! We can even have a sewing machine area and ironing station, too! What is washed at the "wash-in" would be brought back to the hotel for ironing later on.
Sean C, perhaps you may be interested in being on this committee, as well!
Please post your comments and thoughts here and if you'd like to be on the organizing committee. Then we can look at next steps.
