Back in 2017, I was lucky enough to meet Rick M. personally, and he immediately impressed me with his open, warm, and incredibly communicative personality.
Not only is Rick an exceptionally friendly and lovable person, but he also gives everyone around him the feeling that you’ve already been friends for years. 😊
PEZHEAD OF THE YEAR 2022 — Congratulations Rick M.
Many collectors know Rick as the longtime host and organizer of the world-famous PEZAMANIA Convention.
And honestly, there could not have been a more perfect moment to honor him with the prestigious:
🏆 PEZHEAD OF THE YEAR 2022 🏆
The award recognizes the incredible passion, dedication, and hard work Rick has contributed to the PEZ hobby and collector community over many years.
As many of you may remember, I had the honor of receiving the PEZHEAD OF THE YEAR trophy myself back in 2021.
It is truly one of the highest honors our PEZ community can give, and I honestly could not be happier to now pass the trophy on to my dear friend Rick.
Dear Rick — thank you so much for all the incredible work you and Sue have done for PEZ collectors all over the world.
You absolutely deserve this recognition. ❤️
Big Changes Ahead for PEZAMANIA in 2023
With Rick’s final PEZAMANIA event now complete, this also marks the beginning of a major new chapter for the convention itself.
Taking over as the new PEZAMANIA hosts are:
✨ Landon P.
✨ Morgan R.
Both are already very familiar to the PEZ community thanks to their fantastic work with the Virtual PEZ Convention.
The energetic and creative team has already accomplished impressive things through both the Virtual PEZ Convention and their wonderful charity campaigns.
Welcome Landon and Morgan as the new PEZAMANIA hosts!
Thank you both for taking on such an important responsibility for our hobby and community.
We are absolutely certain you will do a brilliant job. 😊
Happy Collecting!
