1976 Vent Haven ConVENTion (10
images)
Beginning in 1976, the "official" photographer of the annual
Vent Haven ConVENTion was ventriloquist and conVENTioneer
Arty Freda. Arty (pictured in the photo to the left with fellow vents
Jimmy Nelson and Johnny Main) took the group photo at the conVENTion and
also took candid shots throughout the week. He then compiled a scrapbook
photo album which was presented to the Vent Haven Museum curator. This
tradition continued every year through 1990. Vent Haven Museum is the
proud custodian of these photo albums, and gladly shares some of the
photos from the original 1976 photo album on this page.
Webmaster's Note: It has been pointed
out that at least one of these photos (Ray Guyll with Jacko) was taken at
the 1975 ConVENTion. Thanks, Ray, for correcting this bit of
misinformation.
