Keep those RSVP's coming Look's like we're going to have a good sized crowd Now we'll have to pray to the weather gods so they don't send us that stuff we haven't seen around here for awhile

We've changed it to RAIN OR SHINE due to the number of out of town guests The winery has ample covered seating to keep us dry in case of rain.

I'm 98% sure will be able to attend, Dan & Becky

 

The third annual Saint Louis MINI Cub run out to the Louis P. Balducci Winery is fast approaching and I have some exciting news to share. Due to the generosity of Ken Suzuki of MINI Mania, Geoff Tolsdorf of Viking Car Care Products, Tony Jones of MINI of Saint Louis, Greg White, of Designs In Motion, and I have a few things to throw in, we really have some outstanding attendance prizes to give away. I don’t think anyone will go away empty handed.

 

Looks like we're over 40 cars Doug's been working hard on this event:smile: See you all next week

We the chance we will have 50 cars or more at this event, I think we will split up in to two groups for the ride out to the winery. See everyone on Saturday morning, be prepaired for some fun!

Thanks, Doug, for a great MINI motoring get-together.

(I hate to admit it, but this was the first MO winery we've visited! )

The wine was great!

 

Brilliantly done Doug

My wife and I had a fabulous time, it was our one year aniversary with STLMINI events. The 2004 cruise was our first.

 

Great event! This has become a highlight of the season and it did not dissapoint this year. Great times, 44 MINIs, great wine, no rain, great food, great new friends from other towns, great roads... what else could you ask for? You know, this is what being in STLMINI is all about. I can't wait for the next event!

A big thank you to Doug!

A big thank you to all that came out!

And a big invitation to those who couldn't make it -- we hope to see you at the next event!

 

I wanna go next year!!!

First off I want to thank Doug, never did catch his last name, for putting on such a great outing. Sorry it has taken me so long to write this, the boss sent me out of town Sunday night, and I just got back. The roads were perfect, the winery was great, and all thoes attendance prizes were fun, I won two items. We met a lot of fun people, and can't wait for the next "road show". I never knew owning a car could be such fun. Let's Motor again soon.

 

Just want to thank everyone who came out to the Louis P. Balducci Winery Run, and I hope you all had a good time, it sounds like you did. I have tried to make this the penultimate event on the Saint Louis MINI Club calendar. We started three years ago with 18 cars and this year we had 44, thanks, it makes all the hard work worthwhile. I am sorry that I couldn't get around to meet all the new members and chat with some old friends too.
If you have any suggestions or want to help with next years run, please let me know.
Motoring down life's ever changing road, with a big smile on my face,

Doug Travis
P.S. And last but not least, we raised $90.00 for BACKSTOPERS.

 

I finally got a collection of pictures from this event up on our site. Thanks to everyone who gave me CDs full o' pics.

The Flash file that provides all the pictures is very large (27MB) due to some pretty high-res pictures taken. So, if you're on dialup, you might be sitting there spinning for a while. Anyway, it might take some time to fully load.

How can we get copies?

 

Never had that request before. Are you coming to the September Happy Hour? If so, I can bring my laptop. If you bring a couple blank CDs, I could burn them there if you'd like.
