Have a great Easter everyone!

Drop me a PM here, there’s an option for you!

Who’s ready for Saturday? See you all at 8am Saturday morning at Donutology!

These are a nice matte finish. Really like how they turned out!!

A few questions I’ve been asked this week, will post here in case anyone else is in need of similar info.

1. The start point is Donutology on Westport Road, 8am. The final stop of the tour is in the Northland. We should arrive there by 11:30.

2. There is no day-of registration, please. The small, locally owned businesses know we are coming and are trying to balance a large group of us arriving at one time with their staffing capabilities. Thanks for understanding.

3. Distance of drive: this is a relatively short drive due to the logistics of moving and parking this many MINIs and Minis. There is no interstate driving on the route. All roads are paved. Potholes guaranteed!

4. Bathrooms. Available at all but one stop this time. Yay!!!

5. Volunteering. YES! I could use a hand with the following: a MINI or Mini to “sweep,” stay at the back of the pack and make sure no one is left behind. I also would love help picking up two boxes of donuts at Donutology and delivering them to a business along the route who has lent us their parking lot. Thanks for offering to help!

6. Media presence. Possible! If it happens, it will be last minute and depends on the news cycle. If you are someone who likes to get up very early and could be at Donutology at 7am, please let me know. Last time a photojournalist caught a ride on parts of the route. If you would be interested in letting them tag along, please let me know and I’ll keep you posted.

7. Will police officers be joining us again for donuts? Yes! They’ve been invited again this year and if they are not busy, they will be joining us for donuts.

I’ll update here if anything else pops up. Excited!

what would be the best donut shop to buy additional donuts? I need to get a couple to go for the people that don't fit in my MINI ha ha

The best shop to buy additional donuts would be the first one, Donutology. They should be fully stocked at 8am. The second stop is making donuts just for us, but may have extras and for sure will have plenty of other sweet treats available.

We can volunteer for the pickup/drop off to the parking business.

Thanks for volunteering, Laurie!

Who can help with sweeping the route? Bueller? Bueller?

A big thanks to all of you who made the trek yesterday on Tour de Donut. What a great time having donuts, Paczki, krownuts, banh tieu and awamat! A round of applause for all of the volunteers who helped get donuts served, cars parked and more. I appreciate you all jumping in wherever needed to make this super fun rolling donut feast happen.

Are you on Instagram? Tag your pics from yesterday with #kcdonuttour and #kcminiclub. Photos are being regrammed on IG at KCMiniClub.

I snacked on the yummy Pike's Place PB braid ( my new favorite) all day today & the other Cronut (Scott's favorite) met with a mysterious end early this morning but now that we have recovered from the 2 day sugar high, it is time to thank Johnna and John for all their hard work putting together this great event!!!! They put so much time and effort in to all the details, the donut shops, parking, directions, passports and stamps, etc,etc etc.
We are very lucky these Miniacs are in our club! Thank you again!!' This was such a fun event!

Aww, thanks, Marlow Main. I appreciate YOU lending a hand! It sure was a fun day spent with so many MINIs, Minis and Miniacs.
