Courthouse made out of PEZ Candy
Chuck Gameon is a Principal that the Choteau Elementary School in Choteau Montana. Readers may know his name from the classified ads in PEZ Collectors News. He collects PEZ and looks for donations of PEZ dispensers. He gives PEZ dispensers to the children as rewards for various things.
Earlier in the school year Chuck came up with the idea of a cool school project. He wanted to get the kids (grades K-6th) to build the local courthouse out of PEZ candy and to get into the Book of World records. There was a problem with that, but that didn't stop Chuck from the class project.
With the help of PEZ Candy, PEZ Collectors News was able to sponsor this project and it was underway.
The base of the building is 4’ x 5’ and the building stands at least 4’ tall. Close to 9,000 candy packs were used to make this historic building.
It is a work of art. These pictures do not show all of the hard work they put into this school project. They did the project during their free time during the day and near the end of the school year they had to work more hours just to get it done before the end of the school year. Great job guys it’s something to be very proud of!

PEZ Convention- Candy Collector Expo update
NE PEZ Con/NE Candy Expo 2010-Update
I have a major update to tell you. The Sheraton Stamford Hotel has been sold. As of right now the hotel is going to be independently named and called the Stamford Plaza Hotel and Conference Center. The change will be taking place on July 9th. Our sales manager said the hotel will honor our contract for 2010, so nothing will change except the name-we hope! I would expect by the time the convention comes the hotel will have a brand name, such as the Sheraton or Holiday Inn.

It's Official! NE Candy Collector Expo April 10, 2010
It’s official. The 12th Annual Northeast PEZ Collectors Gathering and the Northeast Candy Collector Expo will be held April 8, 9, 10, 2010 at the Sheraton Stamford Hotel in Stamford Connecticut. (different hotel than this year) After a month of talking with several hotels, we found one that fits our needs and is reasonably priced. That’s the good news.
The bad news is this year our group booked less hotel rooms than we contracted for. So we have to adjust our group room block numbers which made getting a contract difficult. Everything is based on the rooms we book in the hotel. The more rooms we book, the more they want us. Less rooms we book, the harder it is and the more everything costs. So, in order to continue hosting the convention we have to make some adjustments. Hopefully it will work, but we need your help.
Our Saturday show has always been very well attended. All of our dealers talk about how busy the show is. For those that don’t know, it’s held in a big ballroom and we get at least 500 people coming through the doors. After talking with several dealers and giving it careful thought we will be opening up the Saturday show to include other candy collectibles and we will give the Saturday show another name. We are doing this to hopefully draw more people to the hotel, which should boost room bookings and hopefully help us continue hosting this convention for another ten years! The first time we do this, it may be confusing but I know it’s going to work.
Here is where we need your help. The Saturday show will be called the “Northeast Candy Collector Expo” (which will be held in conjunction with the Northeast PEZ Collectors Gathering) and will be open to all candy collectibles. Knowing the way our attendance/promotions have been for just the PEZ show, this “new” show will be packed. If you know anyone (collector or dealer) that might be interested please give them the information. If you go to www.CandyCollectorExpo.com/necandycon.pdf you can print our flyer to pass around. Please bring the flyers to shows or your local candy stores to hand out. This is the only show of its kind. It will be big. More information can be found on our web site at www.CandyCollectorExpo.com . We have several blogs, Twitter pages, Facebook pages that can be found on our web site too.
Don’t forget, the Northeast PEZ Collectors Gathering will be held April 8-10 2010 and information for the PEZ convention can be found at www.PezGathering.com. The Saturday Public Show will have a name of it’s own (Northeast Candy Collector Expo) which should make it appeal to a larger audience. It can’t hurt. Please help us spread the word……

Candy Collector Expo- PEZ, M&M and more!
The reason I am writing is about one of the conventions I have hosted in Stamford CT for the past 11 years. Our Public Show Day has always been very successful with between 500-800 people entering the doors.
Some PEZ collectors also collect other candy collectibles. I know a some that collect M&M, Klik and other types of candy collectibles. I even have a few M&M items and other candy dispensers in my collection. So, since I have access to a big ballroom I thought it would be good for our hobbies to expand our Public Show day to include all candy collectibles, M&M, Klik, Flix, Spin Pops, Pop Culture tins-anything candy collectible.
The12th Annual Northeast PEZ Collectors Gathering will be held again in April 2010 in Stamford CT. We will be promoting the Public Show day to include other candy collectibles. It’s going to be a big hit with the general public. If you would be interested in attending or being a dealer please check out our web site at www.CandyCollectorExpo.com
You can watch this blog for updates.
