<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 2216018, member: 16948&quot;]After dinner, we heard about the Sugar Factory and decided to check it out.&nbsp; It was wall to wall candy – we felt like kids in a candy store!!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2008%20Chicago%20ANA/IMG_2730_zpscmt6s53d.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2008%20Chicago%20ANA/IMG_2731_zps93hkbedt.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2008%20Chicago%20ANA/IMG_2732_zpsu6bz88jw.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2008%20Chicago%20ANA/IMG_2735_zpsle65xfsu.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I saw this button candy that reminded me of when I was a kid and my parents would let us return a six-back of empty RC Cola bottles and we could use the money to buy some candy – I used to get this button candy or juju bees.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2008%20Chicago%20ANA/IMG_2734_zpsvqmhszjs.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2008%20Chicago%20ANA/IMG_2728_zps6spsss3u.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>It was still early, so we headed back to the theater and watched the new Mission Impossible movie.&nbsp; It too was good, and had some great motorcycle action scenes.&nbsp; Then it was time to call it a night.&nbsp; This is the view from my hotel room which looks directly over the convention center.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2008%20Chicago%20ANA/IMG_2737_zpsr8rs77bw.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>On Monday, I headed back to the show to see if I could find anything else.&nbsp; Monday morning at the PNG show was busier than Sunday, probably since many of the dealers were arriving on Monday.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2008%20Chicago%20ANA/IMG_2741_zpskukyn5ie.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I ran into Tony of Northern Nevada Coin.&nbsp; He had this short tree stump next to him on their table and asked if I could guess what it was.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2008%20Chicago%20ANA/IMG_2740_zpsc9ddssmm.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2008%20Chicago%20ANA/photo1%202_zpsopen6oi7.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I looked it over and made a couple obvious guesses, but Tony said I was wrong and that I just got “stumped”!!!!&nbsp;
