EIM and CIMC enjoyed absolutely perfect weather this past weekend for our annual entry in the Swamp Fox Festival Parade. The massive crowd gathered along the downtown streets of Marion loved our MINIs and expressed their appreciation all along the parade route. The kids especially loved our honored Miss Eastern Iowa MINIs 2012, Maddie S., who gave them a royal treat with her smiles and waves! Thanks Maddie!

Sincere thanks to Larry and Pam H. for organizing our entry in the parade, and especially for hosting our group over at their home after the parade for amazing goodies, homemade pies, and great MINI fellowship. Much appreciated! Thanks also to all of our MINI friends who came out and shared their day with us.

Welcome to EIM newcomers Fred and Peg R. and their “prize” MC Clubman. It was fun meeting you!
