As in past years, the cooperative weather combined with the good food, drink, and the companionship of MINI friends for a great day at the Holy Cross Festival and Parade, held this past Saturday in Holy Cross. We had a small but mighty turnout of MINIs including a sequential triple-team of red Roadsters. The broasted chicken, fresh out of the roaster, has never been better in all the years of our attendance; the drink varieties seemed endless, with the local “home brew” an unexpected and delightful treat. In summary, good times…as always!

Once again, mere words can’t express the depth of our gratitude to Linda & Tom R. for their generosity and hospitality in hosting our group in their home after the parade (especially since they’re in the process of showing their house to prospective buyers). They go above and beyond expectations every year and make the event extra special for all of us. Just can’t thank them enough!
