After sleeping maybe an hour and laying awake in bed since 4AM, it was time to get up! Bill Heltemes room was first. He had this Finn duck that has been driving me crazy, This guy was at the top of my wish list!

Then over to Judy & Brian's Room for those Hard to Find Bugs Bunny's

Picked up this Knight from John LaSpina

I did not take any photos of John Laspinas Room which was a HUGE mistake, any Pez collector could have just died in his room.

Time for a shopping break, we headed out to BA Sweeties Cleveland, OH http://www.sweetiescandy.com/ Now some have said this is the biggest selection, however I was not impressed with this store, it felt cold, not fun, and not as impressive as some have said and it did not even have all 3 transformers, only 2! To me it's just a warehouse full of empty Jelly Belly dispensers and candy on the floor. I guess if your looking for a pretty good candy selection this is your place. On the other hand The Buzz http://www.thebuzzcandy.com/ in Seaside, Oregon has a way bigger selection of Pez.

Back to Pezamania and more room hopping

By this time it was 10:00PM

Time for Bed.

Good Night

Chicago, IL

Cleveland, OH Airport

Then on to Cleveland, OH arrived 12:10AM

grabbed our rental car then headed over to the Holiday Inn, in Independence Ohio arrived there about 1:30AM

When we arrived the bar at the Holiday Inn was hoppin!

The dancing was in full swing, people were having a great time. But I did not recognize any Pezheads.

We stayed in room 266, which was away from all the Pez action a quiet floor which some of the best dressed women I have ever seen had beautiful big hats and gorgeous beautiful suits a church group was staying at the hotel and all I can saw WOW! they were exquisitely dressed and very sweet to us!

When we arrived I started Searching the hotel for signs of Pez, they were everywhere :)

This is what I found
