Oak Lawn July 4th Parade
WRAPUP: We had a lineup of 9 MINIs participating in the parade on a beautiful July 4th morning. All the MINIs were shined up, decorated and ready to go. The parade route was packed with kids hoping for candy and toys. A fun time was had by all.

Downtown Lake Shore Drive (06/08)
WRAPUP: The sunny weather held out just long enough to last the morning drive. A group of 9 MINIs headed down Sheridan Road and Lake Shore drive to meet up with another 10 MINIs at the official starting location. A fun drive through some nice urban roads.. A few groups of MINIs got a bit lost, crossed paths a few times and eventually joined together and found the right way to the end. Several people stayed for breakfast and visting afterwards!!
As usual, send links of photos to steve@chicagominiclub.com and I will put them here to share.

Raceway Woods 5/24
Wrapup: Great weather, fun drive, good eats, and a cool destination!! We had a dozen MINIs and a bunch of dogs take a short trip out to Raceway Woods. There was one long pause for a slow moving freight train where we had a chance to pull over, take pictures and chat before the road opened up again. Burgers, brats, and side dishes were the food of the day, and people had a chance to explore the remnants of a very cool race track.
Send links of pictures to steve@chicagominiclub.com and I will add them here.

Superdawg Cruise 04/18
Wrapup: The predicted bad weather held off, and it was a beautiful night for a get-together. We had over 30 cars meet up for a short casual drive, and we were joined by a bunch more at Superdawg. There were lots of newer and prospective members, a few people who haven’t been out to an event in quite some time, and also many who attend lots of events. There was plenty of time to socialize as well as time to hang out and check out all the newer R56’s, a Clubman and a fabulous classic. Big thanks to Arnie for helping make arrangements with Superdawg to allow us to take over their place for the evening.
