Friday night is PEZ BINGO and this is the 5th straight year that we won NOTHING! We play 21 games every year (21 each so between us we have 42 chances to win one bingo) and so far we have never won. We also didn't win one of the 40 or so door prizes. Maybe next year.
Here is a photo of Kerry playing PEZ BINGO!
Kerry Ann made some great purchases this year including a PEZ Space Gun from the 70's (she already had the pistol...she got that last year). They are a great collector item. You should see all the kids at the convention shooting pez at each other with the PEZ guns. They were recalled years ago from fears that kids would choke by shooting PEZ into their mouths. Here's a picture with "some" of this years purchases. The book she is holding was written by Shawn Peterson (who is always at the conventions) and he signed it for her.
Here is a picture of the ballroom with all the PEZ dealers on Saturday morning.
After the dealer showroom on Saturday morning we met Pat's cousin Laura and her little girl Bethany for breakfast. Here is a picture of her with Kerry Ann...isn't she adorable!
Since you were so nice to read all about the PEZ convention, I am going to offer some more blog candy to anyone who leaves a comment with a PEZ question. Here is what you will win: 3 clear $1 stamp sets from Michael's, 2 blocks and, of course, a PEZ!
Leave a PEZ comment by Friday, the 20th at 8:00 p.m. Eastern and I will use the random number generator to pick a wiinner.
Good Luck all !

I love those Pez Dispensers. I buy them for my granddaughters. I saw the newest one (Hello Kitty) the other day, gotta go back and get one...Of all the ones you have which one is your favorite?
Thanks for the blog candy...
Looks like a fun hobby! I love collecting things. My question is who is Shawn Peterson?
I was wondering how many different flavors of pez candy there are....
I was almost a pez head......a long time ago
I love PEZ candies! I have started my granddaughter on this habit as well. I do have a question about the gun you showed. Is this hard to find? Do you have to go to a convention like this to find one?
We could have a blast with that thing. We just couldn't let dad see it. (He collects his own set of toys - and he might want to play!!!)

Im the first hoot! ok so many questions! do you have a batman pez? and do you have the one with the cape?!!! (I collect batman!! lol and its the most expensive one and I dont have it :( waawaa) lol. thanks for sharing about your pez times! it was fun to read along!
What a fun item to collect, it's no wonder that Kerry enjoys her collection so much:) I remember enjoying some cute Pez toys as a child, but I also remember that the Pez candy tasted horrible. My question is if the candy itself has improved over the past 35 yrs? Also, I'd enjoy knowing which of Kerry's Pez's is her favorite? This was a fun post, thanks for sharing with us.

Pez are so cool. I remember getting them as a kid, and now I buy them to put in my kids stockings and Easter baskets. Looks like you had a great time.
What an interesting hobby to be involved in. I remember seeing some of the prices that these Pez bring on ebay. I used to sell Antiques & Collectibles and sold quite a few Pez over the years. I probably still have a few "kicking" around. lol My question would be: Which Pez is Kerry's most valuable?
I found your PEZ post fascinating. What PEZ does your daughter want, but can not find?
Hello! Would you believe that I've never eaten a PEZ before? Gasp, I know! I just never got a chance. I did have a friend in college that collected them. Thanks for the chance at the candy! I love those clear stamps!

Who introduced Kerry Ann to PEZ. I never realized PEZ was such a big draw....where have I been? Since I have never tasted a PEZ, what do they taste like?
How interesting. Never knew there was such a convention. Why did she start collecting PEZ and at what age? opps, that's two questions! :)
Hey Diane,I would of never thought to collect PEZ but it's a wonderful idea for kids! My question is how many does she have in her collection and where do you store them all.
It was interesting to read all of this Diane,TFS!!!!!!
Hello, Looks like you had alot of fun at the PEZ convention, wish I could have gone to it as well. the Picture of Bethany and Kerry Ann is too cute, talk to you soon, miss you.

ps. you don't have to put my name in the raffle
Pez will always be cool.
My nephew loves pez!!! He even picked out a special one for my infant son last Christmas. He told me that I would have to keep it safe for him! Looks like a fun hobby!
I would never have thought that Pez was something you would collect.Looks like fun.My question is what made your daughter start collecting these and how old was she?
How do you display your PEZ collection?
What a fun item to collect,I love PEZ too .....HOw many does she have in all ??? And Which one is the most expensive ???favorites ?? I had no clue they had PEZ conventions ....It was so fun reading this THanks so much for sharing !!!!
A PEZ convention?! How fun is that?! My question is, do you know if they have Care Bear PEZ dispensers? Those would be way cool. Thanks.
PEZ convention?!! Wow!!! I would love to see that!!!
Now here's a question that is going to make me seem like a moron! I know what a PEZ dispenser is and I've seen some, but I've never tried one!!!
So...what does a PEZ taste like? Is it a candy or a gum? Are all PEZ the same...meaning a hard candy or gum with just diff. flavours?
Thanks for the chance at stamp candy!

Wow, a pez convention........I always put Pez and a new dispenser in my son's stocking at Christmas. I started when he was very young and am still doing it - he's 27 now.
Thanks for the chance to win some Blog Candy.
I havea mini Pez collection-Star Wars and superheroes only. Has there ever been any relating to Star trek and what is a good way to display them? Do you take them all out of the packages or leave them intact? If I can't play with my toys there is no sense in having them. Meesa so happy to have a Jar Jar.
Have they ever had chocolate PEZ?

I love Pez Candy!!!! What is the oldest Pez Dispenser that you have in your collection???
Cindy Coffman
What a fun idea for a collection. I remember getting Pez dispensers as a kid. I should have saved them! My question is which Pez is Kerry's oldest? Happy collecting.
I had no idea that PEZ was still so big...I always buy them at holidays for my neices and nephews...it's something that never goes out of style!
Thanks for offering blog candy & sharing your hobby with us. I was in the musical Annie when I was young & I have an Annie collection. Did Pez ever make an Annie?
