MINIs on Parade

WRAPUP:

A total of 19 Chicago and Milwaukee area MINIs participated in the Milwaukee MINIs 4th of July parade in Wauwatosa Wisconsin.

The weather was great, the crowds were enthusiastic, and the MINIs were dressed to the nines..

Indiana Drive – June 24th

WRAPUP: Thirteen MINIs (including several new members) came out for an early morning drive through some fun back roads.

Huge thanks to Lori for all the planning, (and happy b-day!!)
