To begin, here are mine:
February
1 - A Quest For Banvil Gold Lines. After some random searching on some local classifieds sites, I came across an ad for a whole bunch of Banvil Gold Lines. It was a bit of a trip, however nothing unreasonable, so I went for them. I ended up with three (two white, one brown), as that was all the cash I had on me at the time. Although they were in far from good condition, I was able to restore them for the most part.

After:
2 - First Gulf Coast acquired. I noticed an ad for a used Gulf Coast Georgeanne with original box, and decided to get it. $25.00 later:
March
An unexpected Birthday surprise. In late February, I noticed an ad on Alberta Kijiji for a Casablanca Victorian. I was seriously considering it, however I decided against it once I calculating shipping costs. Lo and behold, about two weeks later a large package arrives at the door and I'm astounded to find out that it's the Casablanca Victorian! It also happens to be my first Casablanca fan with fully functioning Inteli-Touch:
May
Hunter Original Adventure! While on vacation in Los Angeles (visiting a family friend), I discovered a Craigslist ad for a late 70's, early 80's Hunter Original. Since Hunter Originals are highly uncommon in Canada, I jumped on the opportunity. Since we flew to Los Angeles though, I had to do some "creative" packaging to get it home in one piece:
September
ReStore Surprise. Thanks to a large reorganization of the ReStore due to new management, I received a special closet to store fans that are received via donation. Although the fans usually aren't anything to write home about, I really do appreciate this new "Fan Room!"
November
With the help of Ray (a fellow employee at the ReStore), the simple question "Why not run fans on display?" got turned into a reality:

Happy 2015 guys!
