Jessica´s report from the ATX PEZ Gathering...

 

 

For all those who did not have the chance to attend the ATX PEZ Gathering we are happy to share with you a little summary which was written by

our PEZ Pal Jessica <3

 

 

As soon as we arrived to the hotel we were greeted by a bunch of Pezheads...

Their arms full of PEZ that they had just purchased and me not wanting to miss a beat grabbed my husband and started to practically running down the hallways to start room hoping!

 

 I was on a mission!

I need minis, Barky's and anything that caught my eye!!!!!

Word got out what I was hunting for and I was sent to Silas's room....

He had a mini set that I needed.... YES!!!!!

As I'm in the Hosts room I realize OH we haven't registered yet oops!!!

We make our way to registration and pick up our registration bags.

Inside we find our attendee dispenser, a pint glass,

a pin and a bunch of other cool ATX swag.

 

Silas runs down the list of events for us and up first is karaoke.....

Oh NO...

I love to sing but I'm horrible at it....

I decide I'll let the hubby and my friends handle this.... Well....

As the drinks start flowing and the Pezhead start piling into the convention room we all just start dancing and randomly singing to whatever song is playing.... Then things got serious...

Silas grabs the microphone and starts up the karaoke contest...

He belts out a song and then Jerry Battenfield gets on stage...

This very nice quiet man whom I never thought would be doing karaoke sings

Lil Red Riding Hood!!!! He rocked that song!!!

One by one Pezhead get up on stage and sing!!!!

(There are videos of everyone singing if anyone wants to see them lol)

Ok so now I'm being pressured to go sing... Ok ok I pick a song...

Bohemian Rhapsody...

Now why do I pick an extremely long song? I HAVE NO CLUE!!!!!!

But it won me the award of WOMEN PEZHEAD IDOL!!!!!

Everyone did great singing and the karaoke party was a blast.....

 

Silas made sure that everyone was entertained with
 lots of PEZ activities and seminars....

 

 

He gave a great one on PEZ pals, where everyone learned a lot of information.

 

Travis Clifford did a seminar on Halloween PEZ,

which was broadcast live by Bubby PEZ on WPEZ-TV.

That was a lot of fun!

Cliff Lee had a seminar on PEZ 101 where

even veteran collectors learned some new stuff.

 

The next day back to room hoping... Pezheads are wandering all over the hotel trying to find the PEZ that they need.

 

Silas planned a bunch of events for everyone to do.

Easter egg hunt

Making a special PEZ truck for a truck race

A kickball game (got cancelled due to rain)

The Truck race Charity Auction Raffles A guessing game Presenting Awards

The charity auction was amazing...

The Crazy Funny Landon was our auctioneer.

He turned himself into a Ringmaster for the auction!

He costume was spot on!!!!

He auctioned more than 20 lots raising over

4000 DOLLARS for Austin's Pets Alive!!!!!

 After the auction it was time for the truck races!

 

Mamma Lamay (Aaron Lamays mom) was the 1st place WINNER and won a cool prize ATX dispenser!

After the races Silas pulled the winning tickets for the raffles ...

I won a Brutus Pez dispenser .... Jeanine Elwell won a special red ATX dispenser and then a Vucko and a Frankenstein were raffled off also.

 

Now it was time for the Awards.... Everyone was given a sheet of paper with a list of categories and we had to write down names of who we think deserves these awards...

The Landon of course won Party Animal and

the Peter PEZ Award.

Aaron Lamay won Pezhead King and Bubby PEZ was his queen with him winning the Pezheads Queen award!

Phyllis Oreck won the person most likely to be buried with their PEZ.

Juan Orozco won Pezheads Male Idol and I won Pezheads female idol!!!!

 

 I also happened to win the guessing game.... We were told that someone's gathering pack had something different about it than everyone else's....

 Aaron Lamay was trying so hard to win but me being a sly fox was able to figure out the difference before him!!!!

On one bag the ATX logo was printed on the wrong side!!!!

 I won a blue ducky ATX dispenser!!!!!!
 

The Convention came to an end and a large group of us went

out for a BBQ Dinner..

Hey we are in Texas after all!!!

After dinner the group split up.

Some went back to the hotel and some went out on the town...

I'll let you guys guess what one I did;)

All in all the ATX PEZ Convention was fun.

Buying PEZ, playing games, and hanging out with your best friends...

What else does anyone really need?!?!


Thank you Jessica <3 for your story and pictures,

Lets share the JOY and LOVE for PEZ collecting

Three years ago on the 24th of March 2013, 
Krissy made her first post on the Blog.

Sometime later, Krissy wanted me to be a part of her lovely Blog.
We could have never dreamed that our Blog would grow to have Tens of Thousands of visits since that day. We started working in many nightshifts, thousands kilometers away from each other on what is now our Blog. We wanted to create not only a Pez News Blog. Our desire was to create something special to report about PEZ gatherings and conventions, to play fun interactive games and have great contests, with very special free Pez prizes for Pez Collectors around the world.

(Bubble in trouble, Flying to the Moon and back, Bride Fever)

Our Valentines Hearts, Barky and Sport Pictorials were designed to help all collectors around the world. Voting for the Favorite Pez at the End of the year is our tradition now. After 3 years, we are so happy to be known as the 

"Bunny" & "Skull"
PEZ PALZ TEAM

It´s our 3rd Birthday, and we are Happy to Celebrate! :)

We would like to share with you something that has caused our hearts to glow!

Today is our best Pez day ever, and we are freaking out here, because now

we have our own

PEZPALZ Dispenser!

First we need to say a BIG THANK YOU to

PEZ International and specially to GABI M. for their support

to make this dream of ours come true.

(DANKE DAS DU UNS ALLE SO TOLL UNTERSTÜTZT

UND IMMER EIN OFFENES UND

VERSTÄNDNISSVOLLES OHR FÜR UNS SAMMLER HAST)

 We wanted to create something special for our Pez

and we decided on a beautiful box. 
Each of our special Pez will come with a complimentary 
collectors box which is limited to 190 pieces. 
Every box has a limited number & sticker on it. 

(Boxes & Stickers are NOT made by PEZ International)
