CALLING ALL MINIs & Minis…or at least 10 of you!!!

I have been working with the new MINI of Loveland dealership marketing manager. We have been invited to their Official ground-breaking ceremony on Wednesday, August 26th beginning at 10am. This date happens to be the 50th birthday of MINI. Festivities include a MINI reception, ribbon cutting and more.

To participate, us MINIs would need to be there early by about 9:00 am - 9:30 am.* *see below

*They would like to see at least 10 (or more) MINI club members with their MINIs to be "Front and Center" for the Official kick-off photo op!
The northern Colorado location is off of I-25 at the Crossroads Blvd exit at the Motorplex. The Motorplex conveniently runs along I-25, so no traveling into the town of Loveland is required…it's just south of the nations' largest Hooters and Thunder Mountain Harley Davidson.

The addition of this dealership is a great opportunity for northern Colorado MINIs and it would be great to show them MINI support and pride as a club.

She is asking for a head-count, so within the next few weeks, please tentatively sign-up on the calendar so I can get a rough-count to give to her.

This date is still far out, but planning now and taking part in this would be a unique MINI Experience!

I've added a calendar sign-up at: GroundBreaking

This is an important event to establish a relationship with the new MINI dealership. I for one will really try to be there.

Cool, are we going to make sure they are mod friendly. It would be great to have 2 super MINI dealers in Colorado. Not always is it convenient to drive South.

Some great questions to ask at the ground breaking and make sure you bring your ideas! They want to know what we are looking for and such.

Wow the count is looking great! We have MINIs signed up here, Facebook and MA.

Maybe we can add a short run after the festivities...

More exciting new, the new WEB site has been put in place.
http://www.MINIofLoveland.com/
There is a newsletter link to sign-up to get notified of up and coming info on the building of the dealership. There is also a picture of what the new building will look at under "Take a Peek". The building design is really cool. Also besides signing up on the Calendar, please send an e-mail to Gerry Grimshaw at gerry@MINIofLoveland.com saying that you are going to the ground breaking. Also there are going to be T-shirts for those that come to the photo shoot along with other goodies I am trying to get them to do.
