I will be attending with Ryan. Hopefully, a day off can be arranged for the drive down. My summer isn't complete without a Balducci run.

If you make the run from eastern iowa, perhaps swinging through columbia may be a good point to grab a cup of coffee before continuing the journey...let us know if you come this way at all.

Thus far we have 4 pretty firm commitments from Eastern Iowa MINIs and are still beating the bushes for more. 
I'll try to coordinate our participation and keep you posted on the numbers from our group, and act as a communications conduit where it adds value.
We're looking forward to making the trip south.

We both plan on going on the Balducci Run. Nice calm drive through the country, nothing we enjoy more than following a bunch of Mini's down country roads. See everybody on the 29th.

Balducci Winery Run News Update
Balducci Winery News
Saturday August 29, 2009
This year’s Balducci Winery Run is an event you won’t want to miss. We have planned a new route that will take you on some roads you have never been on and will keep your car zinging and zaging thru the beautiful Missouri countryside.
Once at the winery we will have reserved parking and a covered picnic area. A coupon for 50% off your first bottle of wine. There will be window stickers, and door prizes and a raffle to benefit BACKSTOPPERS. This years raffle will be the biggest yet. We will be raffling of items from Detail’s Paradise, Mini of Saint Louis, Out Motoring, Mini Fini, Mini Mania, American Mini Mates, Whalen Shift Machine, and many more. Just think, you could win a Mini Garman GPS, a Dinan strut tower brace, a MINI-Fini key rack, a Whalen 50th anniversary shift knob, t-shirts, car care products, a cuckoo clock, travel mugs, and too many items to list here. You won’t be disappointed that’s for sure.
There will be a prize for the longest distance traveled to get to the event
A prize for the car with the most mileage.
The event will start at Fru Con Construction Headquarters, located on the north west corner of Clayton and Clarkson Roads. Just set your GPS for 15933 Clayton Road, Ballwin, MO 63022. This event is rain or shine, the drivers meeting will be at 10:00 AMThis event should not be missed, have a lot of fun, come home with some wonderful gifts, and help a very worthy cause.
Please let us know if you are attending, to help us with our planning. Reply to newsletter@stlmini.com
HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE.
