The theme for the 2025 convention will be “That 70's Show “celebrating our favorite TV shows throughout the ’70’s (think Partridge Family, Mod Squad, Wonder Woman, and I Dream of Jeannie). We plan to pack the day with many time-honored traditions and perhaps start a few new ones! 

We (Mary & Dawna) met at the Dawn Convention in Orlando, Florida and have been great friends ever since!  We were both lucky enough to live in the state of Washington and were able to visit frequently until 2020. In 2020, Mary moved back home to the state of Maine to be closer to her aging parents, an opportunity she was so thankful to have! Dawna spends her time between Washington state and Idaho throughout the year.

Mary’s first Dawn doll was a gift she asked for (and received) for Christmas in the early ‘70s.  While she no longer has the doll, she still possesses the “Dear Santa” letter written by her sister because she was still too young to write (see letter attached below).  She soon obtained Glori, Angie and Dale….and eventually along came Longlocks who will forever be her favorite!   Oh…that hair!!  Eventually she moved on to other interests, but never forgot Dawn dolls and later when she discovered an entire community of enthusiasts, a hobby and new friends ensued.
