(we need to say here a big THNAK YOU to Ivan and his family).

as I heard about his new museum I was very exited to see it finaly
(you will see the pictures later).
after visiting his amazing museum we needed a glass of wine to came down :)
we left soon to rest before the convention on next day.
saturday was the big convention day.
we came around 11 am to Ivan and the other collectoros started showing up soon.
Ivan's guests came from Slovenia, Croatia, Norway, Italy, Austria and as mentioned from USA.

| what a great place for a Pez Convention. |
after a welcome drink, we started to prepare our selling tables
which looks like a market place and the hunt began:)
there was a lot of cool stuff,
a Finn Convention Santa, a Finn Polar bear, a non complete make a face dispenser,
some of US Convention Dispensers, PEZ Bags, Viktors, Ferdinands and much more...
Everyone found some great new & old stuff,
we sold and traded a lot.

| selling, trading, and PEZ talks :) |
after the first selling and trading action we took a great barbecue,
to get stronger for the next part, a baskettball game.
Who shoots the most hoops wins.
Martina's 16 years old nephew won a very special test hippo (kooky zoo).
we had a drinks & coffee break before the bingo started.
the money he got for the bingo tickets Ivan will donate to a children hospital.
everyone who alredy has been there once knows how special and wonderful dispensers are possible to be won at Ivan's bingo!
Unfortunately I was the loser :)

| 10 Bingo price-boxes (not all in picture) full of great PEZ stuff, my favorites are box Nr: 7,8,9,10 |
Thor (from Norway) and his family were the winner of this game,
5 family members and 5 prizes :)
the day was almost over and before leaving everyone wanted to see Ivan's museum.
we got the chance to see some realy beautyful and impressive dispenser
he put a lot of time, effort & money to build this museum and even though
he has not finished it yet, it is great and has to be seen.
the collectors started leaving and at the end Brain, Momo, Vesna and I were left
Ivan appears with a new jug of wine and funny pezy-talks began.
it was time to say good bye and at midnight also the rest of us left
and enabled Ivan to fall asleep.
it was a realy funny & great day
a kind get-togehter and possibility to meet new and old pez friends.
