NE Candy Collector Expo/ NE PEZ Convention

10 NE PEZ Con Charity Auction Pins are posted on ebid and can be found at http://us.ebid.net/stores/pcn-store . The auction ends on Sunday morning Feb 28th. We started the auctions a couple weeks ago to give people a chance to sign up for ebid (its free) and figure out how to place bids. Thank you to those that have come over to the auction site. Just so you know some of the pins have really low bids still. The money from these pins will go to Make A Wish.

NE PEZ Con-The deadline is almost here for early convention packet registration and discounted hotel rooms. After March 1st the con packet prices increase by $10, so please send in now. The convention will be held again in Stamford CT on April 8, 9, 10, 2010 but in a different hotel than last year. This time it will be at the old Sheraton Stamford Hotel which is now called the “Stamford Plaza Hotel and Conference Center” http://www.stamfordplazahotel.com . When booking your hotel room please make sure you book under the PEZ group and call 1-877-604-6072 or 203-359-1300.

The convention is shaping up to be another good year. As far as dealers we have over 25 signed up for the Saturday show. I know of at least 2 people liquidating their collections and we have one company that is coming and will sell a new, exclusive PEZ dispenser during the Saturday show. For more info about the convention check out http://www.PezGathering.com See you all in April.

NE PEZ Con + NE Candy Collector Expo

Hi Everyone,
NE PEZ Con- DEALERS PLEASE READ- The early dealer table reservation deadline for the 12th Annual Northeast PEZ Collectors Gathering and the Northeast Candy Collector Expo is Monday Feb 15th. If you are planning on coming, please let me know. Due to the new “candy vendors” I will have to work on the floor plan soon so we can make everyone fit.
NE PEZ Con/Candy Expo attendees-The deadline for early convention packet (attend/absentee) registration and discounted hotel rooms is March 1st. After March 1st the prices increase by $10, so please send in early. It will be held again in Stamford CT on April 8, 9, 10, 2010 but in a different hotel than last year. This time it will be at the old Sheraton Stamford Hotel which is now called the “Stamford Plaza Hotel and Conference Center” www.stamfordplazahotel.com . When booking your hotel room please make sure you book under the PEZ group. Hopefully we will make our room booking quota and we can return to this hotel again in 2011. Everyone was happy with this hotel in the past.
The big change is we are opening up the Saturday show/room hopping to all candy collectibles. More dealers, more candy collectibles! Our Saturday public show has always been busy, so it should be really busy. So please make your plans and reservations early!
