PEZ Conventions: Pezcific


Star Trek conventions be damned! PEZ conventions are where it's at.

The PEZ collecting hobby has grown to the point where several conventions are held annually around the world. The oldest convention is PEZ-A-MANIA, which has been held in Ohio since 1991. Conventions are also annually held in Missouri, California, Minnesota, Connecticut, South Carolina, Austria, Finland and Sweden. PEZ conventions are a place where collectors and dealers can meet to buy and sell PEZ merchandise. There are also typically auctions for charity and games and contests with PEZ items as prizes.

The first one coming up is the Pezcific Coast Convention held in Los Angeles on Feb. 12-14 at the Manhattan Beach Marriott. Events include a PEZ scavenger hunt, bingo, seminars and an auction.


By total coincidence, I will be in the area then. I may have to check it out.
