The Saint Louis Mini Club invites you to the eighth annual run to the Louis P. Balducci Winery located in Augusta Missouri. This event is a fund raiser for BACKSTOPPERS, a local fund that supports the families of Police, Fire Fighters, and EMT Personnel killed in the line of duty. Last year we raised $1600.00 for this worthy cause.
This years run will start behind the Starbucks located at Highway K and Technology Drive, right across the Highway from Quick Trip. The drivers meeting will be at 10:00 am, followed by an exciting drive out to the winery, where we will have reserved parking and our own covered picnic area, and 50% off your first bottle of wine. (21 and over). We hope to see you…..rain or shine.
Never been to this event before, then ask anyone who has attended and they will tell you it is a must do event. Last year 64 cars from all over the Midwest attended, we hope you will make it this year.
A few of the items in this year’s raffle are: MINI Roof Rack w/ touring Bike Holder, Dinan Cold Air Intake for R53, Model Cars, Mini Books, Dinner Certificates, Stay at the Ritz, Badge Holders, Key Racks, Coat Racks, T-Shirts,Miscellaneous Mini Motoring Gear, and of course a MINI Cuckoo Clock. This is just a few of the items, you won’t want to miss this raffle, there is something for everyone.
More information will follow.

Having lived up that way for a few years, I'll vouch for the beauty of the drive from St. Louis along the Missouri River to German wine country.

 

To help you locate our starting point for this year’s run, set your GPS to: Starbucks, 4581 Highway K, O’Fallon, MO 63366. This is just north of Highway 40/64 on Highway K. We will be in the lot behind Starbucks. Be ready to Motor!
