Fellow Pezhead,
We would like to personally invite you to the third annual Michigan Pez Convention, August 16-18, 2018.
We are pleased to introduce an addition to the Michigan Pez Convention mascot family. Our man from year one and his wife from year two have gotten a puppy!!! This year’s interactive convention dispenser will highlight our furry friend in the spotlight of the same interchangeable centerpiece style as the previous two years with all new stem colors.
Our two greatest goals for the Michigan Pez Convention is that everyone finds value in attending the event and has an amazing experience. Because of this, we are always looking for ways to improve upon years past or to keep things fresh and exciting. We are planning to bring back activities such as the bean bag tournament, live auction, swag swap, and kid’s activities, but are really excited to announce some incredible changes to this year’s agenda.
Due to the number of moving parts surrounding these changes, Jim will be sharing them in more detail on Facebook Live. Stay tuned to the Michigan Pez Convention Facebook page for more information regarding when this will take place.
Game Night - Plan on the same head-to-head games and craziness as last year! Our theme for 2018 is Hats and Wigs. We look forward to seeing everyone in crazy hats and funky wigs, competing for bragging rights and more!
The Challenge - In this event, teams will work together to accomplish a series of challenges and compete against other groups for prizes.
Ballroom Show – Based on feedback received, we are moving our Pez Dealers back to the ballroom for the General Public show.
Art Auction - We had so many amazing donations to last year’s Live Auction, that we plan to feature all of this year’s handcrafted donations in an Art Auction. Anyone interested in participating is welcome and invited to let their talents run wild to raise money for charity.
After Party - We can’t think of a better way to close out the Michigan Pez Convention than spending it with all of you. This year, we have made plans to spend the evening at Dave & Buster’s with dinner and games, finishing up the weekend with an amazing performance by Dave Wright - The Motor City Hypnotist. This is one you truly won’t want to miss!
New Date - Please note that the dates for this year’s event are one week earlier than usual. We believe that this new date will better accommodate families working around school calendars.
New Location – This is our biggest change by far. We love the Embassy Suites concept, but have moved to one in Livonia at 19525 Victor Parkway, Livonia Michigan 48152. This pet-friendly location is closer to the airport, easier for the general public to access, has a more spacious Ballroom, and is better equipped to accommodate us in years to come.
We have secured a room rate of $119.00/night plus tax. This includes spacious accommodations in two-room suites with microwave, refrigerator, and room safes, FREE made-to-order breakfast buffet each morning, and COMPLIMENTARY snacks and drinks each night from 5:30-7:30 pm.
We are also proud to announce that we have continued our partnership with Christian-based Camp Lake Louise as the charity for our event. Last year, our amazing and generous friends in the Pez community at MIPEZCON raised an astonishing $10,000! These funds were used by the camp to support their scholarship program, providing a healthy and rewarding experience to underprivileged children.
Early Registration will be March 1-3, 2018. You must register at www.mipezcon.com during these dates to receive the Early Registration Dispenser.
Please direct any questions or concerns to Jim Blaine at [email protected].
Thanks so much in advance for your continued support of our event. It truly takes a village and our success would be nothing without you. We hope these changes have you looking forward to August and getting excited!
Sincerely,
Jim and Jody Blaine
