Back from Finnland…..
After a very cool, nice and wonderful Pez weekend, in
Finnland @ the amazing 2014 FinnPez Convention, I´d like to tell you about my impressions.
Before I gone there, I spend a lot of time to prepair all of
the stuff I wanted to take with me. It‘s funny, I was on road, I traveled with two suitcases, full
with PEZ stuff, my cosmetics, 4 T-Shirts, 4 pants and 4 pair of socks J
But it‘s allways the same question, what should I take with me? What are my
friends missing there?
This time I had a lot of easter Pez-eggs with me, so maybe about
30 eggs and I brought most of them back home,
because they are in Finnland also out now and one egg was in the goodiebag J
So all eggs are again here, so maybe someone of you need
Euro Eggs,
I still have had a lot hahahah J
The last night before I flew to Finn, I packed my stuff in
the suitcases (sometime I hate myself because I do all the things the last day
and
everytime I say to me, nomore again but everytime i do the
same mistake).
That was the reason why I slept only 4 hours.
After a hard wake up in the morning, I was happy and ready for
Finnpez. First I flew to munich and then
from munich to Helsinki,
all in one I traveled about six hours from Vienna to
Helsinki.
This time Pirkka & Markku (the Finn organizers) organized
the 8 th FinnPez Convention and for the first time in Helsinki (the other 7 were
held up in Tampere)
and that was great for collectors who come abroad. (I think not
only for us also for a lot of people and families from Helsinki)
They choised a very good hotel for us for good price. The
transfer from the Helsinki Airport to the hotel was very easy by the bus and took only 25 Minutes, for very fine and cheap
5 Euros.
So I arrived at 13:00 clock at the hotel and was READY for the
2014 Finnpez Y A Y!!!

I have to tell you something about Pirkka & Markku: they
are allways looking to do all perfect, they and their families (wives &
children) put so much energy, work and love in this event, have never seen it before.
They are so many AMAZING and great things what they did,
from the beginig of the registration, we got all Information that we needed,
how can the hotel be found, Airport transfer,
phone numbers of both of them, stickers, sell desk with your

The registration included a goodiebag and a lunch for all of
us. We had coffee and drinks whole time.
Lot of kids were also there, It was a real FAMILY Event.
They
had special games for the kids and a game for the big Pez kids like me (also for
the small one) called Pez-Lotto with wonderful great prices
(I did not win the top prices but everyone won a price). But
anyway, that was a very funny game for all.

They organized all from A to Z, there was nothing I missed.
That‘s also the reason why more then 70 peoples joined the
convention this year (collectors from Spain,Sweden,Norway, U.S, Austria).

| very FIRST LOOK of the new 2014 Finn-Dispenser |
For me one of the best parts was the VERY spectacular
presentation oft the new Pin and the new CRYSTAL PEZ DISPENSER.
Noone have seen them ever before and I´m verry happy to have
mine.
You must know, when you go to FinnPez Convention, you will never
be alone there. The FinnBrothers are allways looking after you. Also all the other guests and friends from Finnland are not
shy and are looking to speak and talk with you.
The conference room was great, with lot of place for all of
us. This one day event, gone by so fast but we had enought time for buying,
selling, talks and playing games.
First everyone had to introduce himself and at 11:30 a.m.
the offical part started and finished at 6:30 p.m.
After the gathering a dinner was organized for us (that belongs
together every year).
We were a smaller gruop and it was very funny. We had a lot
of good Pez talks and a little bit alkoholic drinks J
I‘d like agian to say thank you to Pirkka and Markku and
their family for this wonderful Convention!
Big hugs from Austria to all of you and all my other Finn
and Sweden Pez friends.
