I will definitely be there for this one. I live in American Canyon which is about 10 minutes away. What time will MINI drivers begin showing up so I can leave work early? See you all there.

 

We should be arriving at 5PM. I will try to get there before 4PM but don't let that stop you. Show up as early as possible, we will make room for those getting there a little late. If you can't make it until after 5 give me a call on cell 707-483-9948.

 

Just a reminder that the Napa Downtown Chef’s Market is tonight. REME has been invited and our MINI’s will be center stage. It will be great to have a BIG showing. So grab your folding chairs and come to the Napa Downtown and join us.

Enjoy a casual evening with MINI friends, music, food, and fun. Let me know if you plan to come so we can be sure to have enough spaces. You can email me (norm@redwoodempiremini.com) or call me at work (707) 542-9996 until about noon, then 707-620-0115 or cell 707-483-9948. We plan to leave the Windsor area at 3PM and get there about 4PM. The market does not start until 5PM. If we know you are coming we will save you a spot

Hope to see you all.

The next "MINI/Mini" Napa Downtown Chef's Market is Friday July 27, 2007. They have set aside a spot on Coombs St. for about 30 MINI/Minis. All MINIs must be there and parked BEFORE 5:00PM. They open the market at 5 and will not allow any vehicles to drive through the market after 5. The market is located in downtown Napa along 1st Street just off Main St and is several blocks long.

Please RSVP on REME calendar forum or send me an email if you are planning on going. We would like to get a head count. email: norm@redwoodempiremini.com

So bring your folding chair and enjoy the music, fun, food, and wine. This is a great place to visit with your Mini friends and show off your Mini.

 

Fassbinder was hit and run, and vandalized today, hopefully I can have damage repaired before then (probably need a new left door)

 

Don't forget this Friday evening's Downtown Napa Chef's Market. The fun starts at 5PM and ends about 8:30PM, but if you wish to have your MINI/Mini shown on "CENTER STAGE" make sure you get there before 5PM. Remember, they have set aside space for about 30 MINI/Minis on Coombs Street right in the middle of the market. So come out and join in the fun, food, music and enjoy socializing with all the other Mini owners. All MINI/Minis (first 30) are welcome, so get there early.

I will have our MINI cones and the MC2 Magazine Slip Cases for those that have ordered them or want them. The Mini cones are $12.50/pair and the MC2 Magazine slip cases are $15.00 ea + shipping. (about a buck so figure $16)

 

Don't forget the Downtown Napa Chef's Market on Friday evening. August 17th. This is the last MINI market for the year. Come on down and join the fun.

We will have plenty of MINI/Mini parking, food, music, wine and crafts. So bring your folding chair, and enjoy the evening with friends.

Please remember to TRY to be there by 5PM, but if you get there late, I think we can get you parked with all of us. We will be parked on Coombs Street just off First.

Please RSVP on the calendar or drop me an email if you plan to come.
