PEZ Convention, with Kids

8/27/2017

0 Comments

 
As usual, we did A LOT of rippin’ & runnin’ this weekend. Like beyond
​

After an informal vote, the major crowd pleaser turned out to be the time we spent at a PEZ Convention. Y’all heard me right, the frontrunner was a convention.

Want to know why I think it was the greatest hit? The people behind the Pez. Yup, the vendors catapulted the event into the hearts of the kids. They are lifers now. As in PEZ4LYFE. Yup- that's a thing.

Here’s a breakdown of this unusual and intriguing event:

The convention was held at an Embassy Suites Hotel in Troy. Nothing weird about that, nope. However, the convention took place inside individual suites, as in rooms of the vendors. I found that odd and I actually was like: I think we should leave. I’m gonna be real: It felt not right. But I pushed past the strange feeling and entered a room, kids in tow.

The displays were super pro and I asked the vendors questions as we checked out all the displays. The individual set-ups were awesome,and there was a ton of unique artifacts from Pez collections around the globe.

As we meandered through about 20 suites, I spoke to a ton of collectors and learned a ton about Pez. It was kinda like a history of Pez lesson and the vendors were clearly into their craft. And although my sister was the Pez collector growing up, I’m into Pez simply from a spectator point of view- and I found it to be a great event.

We all picked out our favorites and the collectors were so nice to the girls, it turned out to be the most fun they had all day- a day which included hunting for mastodon bones and swimming.

Why you should Go>

Toys + Candy
Let’s be real- PEZ are toys [albeit collectibles] & kids LOVE toys. So there’s that. What are Pez irl? Dispensers for Candy. Kids love candy, right? You best believe it.
