A full cadre of 18 MINIs made a great showing for the folks in Marion during this year’s Swamp Fox Festival Parade. Everyone loves MINIs! Thanks to all for coming out and joining us. Additional thanks to our parade coordinator lapshoffman for all of the hard prep work, and to he and 05MINI for the great MINI baubles and bling. Sincere EIM special thanks go out as well to Alexandra, our “Miss Eastern Iowa MINIs 2009″ who represented us with grace and style.

At least sixty-four MINIs strong–with Miah34 and Gil-galad among them–turned out for the St. Louis MINI Club’s 7th Annual Run to the Louis P. Balducci Winery charity drive on August 29th. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect, the twisties on the way to the winery were mighty fine indeed, the raffle was incredible, and the Balducci wines exquisite! We thank our MINI friends from St. Louis for inviting us along.
Pictures from this event can be viewed in our EIM Gallery. Also, you can review the related wrap-up discussion in the St. Louis MINIs Event Thread (<-link)
