Superdawg August 20th

WRAPUP:  Another incredible event!!  We had about 30 MINIs participate in a zip around a bunch of neighborhood cul-de-sacs, interrupted by a short storm-burst in the middle of the drive..  The weather cleared up nicely by the time we arrived at Superdawg..  An additional 20 or so MINIs (and Mini) joined us after we arrived.  Great eats and a chance to hang out with new and old club members.  Special thanks to Arnie and Lena for the route and event planning, and for Superdawg for hosting us!!

Drive~Riverboat brunch and tour!!!! SUNDAY June 26th

 

WRAPUP: A fantastic drive and boat cruise!!  A bit of wetness in the start of the drive, but the bad weather soon cleared out. We had a bit of drama at our rest stop with a flat tire to deal with..  Then off to the boat cruise with a great brunch and a ride up and down the river..  Our MINI Club good deed for the trip.. A lady had left her wallet on top of her car at a gas stop, and didnt realize till they got to Wisconsin.  They returned to look at the gas station to see if it fell off the car there,  but couldn’t find it.. Club members Tracy and Jim found the wallet a couple blocks away, and was able to return it to the owners.!!
