So, if we meet up at the Ameristar the drive is only about 40 minutes to Richmond (taking 210 all the way). Should we plan on meeting in an outer lot of the Casino near the enterance? It looks like festivities don't start until 9:00 and the parade set up is at noon. We could meet around 7:45 and leave for the drive at 8:00? Does that sound like a plan to everyone? I know some will have to get up really early to make it there by 8:00 but that gives us plenty of time to drive and see the festival. Plus, I'm sure some will want to spruce up their car before the parade, once we are there.

Can we get a reconfirmation of people who want to do a group drive to Richmond?

Hilary, is there a meet up spot in Richmond that we should know about? You've mentioned a "Rally Site" but I don't see where that site is.

I was just up at the Ameristar last night. If you go in the main entrance to the casino there is an outer lot off to the left (after you turn right into the parking area). It looks like a good place to meet.

Attention MINI Cooper Owners, Enthusiasts & Fans!

We are one week away from MINI's to Richmond, MO Car Rally/Show.
There has been a very good response and at this time we have
17 MINI's that have pre-registered for the event.
I am optimistic that we will have another 7-8 who will come to Mushroom Festival.
That would be fantastic and very positive for our brand. The reputation of the MINI Coopers
is really good in Richmond as everyone loves to see them in the parade.

If you already pre-registered, get ready for a good time and a special day.
If your schedule permits please consider join us for the fun!

Please pass this on to other MINI owners! Hope to see you next
Saturday May 3rd in Richmond, MO!

Would be cool to make badges for each event, or stickers. We did the river market one and tour de donut. Minis to richmond could be another good one, 4th of July parade and so forth. Just a thought. The major events. Not the cruise-ins.

Yes, we are completely out of badges. Laurie did a great job selling them all at the last MINIs at the Market.

Once we conclude the contest for the new club logo design, we plan to get stickers made.

Badges? We don't need no sticking badges...

Sorry I couldn't resist. 10 bonus points if you know what movie that was from.

I will have to make a note for next year about making a badge or a sticker for this event.

Forecast calls for sunny with a high of 75 in Richmond Saturday. Beautiful weather. Perfect day for a festival and a parade.

Arrived at Ameristar. The lot near the truck one is the furthest away as the outer most lots are closed.

The parade was great. Almost 20 minis. That was much more than last year. Only change I would make for next year is give the stick shift guys more space between cars so we aren't riding our clutches haha. Our cars hated us after that. Still it was a lot of fun and can't wait till next year. Let's got for 30 minis.
