We could ramble on here at great length about our superb day motoring to Eldon, IA; visiting the American Gothic House; getting to meet and share exquisite pecan and apple pie (and the joy of all things MINI) with Beth Howard, the “American Pie Lady”…

…but perhaps the best thing is for you to hear about it from the perspective of Beth herself. Check out her blog at the following link:

The World Needs More Pie: The Day the MINI Coopers Came to Town

Sincere thanks to Beth for the camaraderie, hospitality, delicious pie, and inspiration; to our good friend Roger S. from Des Moines who organized and facilitated the outing, generously donated prizes, and made sure it was a fun event for everyone; and to all of the MINI faithful who came out to join us. Much appreciated!
