The Milwaukee Minis ventured north this month to gather at Scoop deVille in Hartford. For dinner, it was hot dogs all around, followed by homemade Ice Cream. The ice cream parlor also has old-fashioned fountain sodas, candy, roasted nuts and chocolates wrapped up in a 1950′s themed diner. You’ll know you’re near it when you smell the wonderful aroma of cinnamon wafting out from the door! View Photos…

Finally, the beauty of Fall was painting the land and the Milwaukee Minis were ready to take in the colors. The Fall Foliage Drive and Poker Run took us around the hills surrounding the Holy Hill area, well known for it’s fall colors and twisty roads. Our final destination brought us to Revere’s Wells Street Tavern in Delafield for poker door prizes, merry drinks, and a much relished lunch. View Photos…

It’s double-header of nights on the town with the Milwaukee Minis! Our first night began at the humble Boy Blue of America. The last Boy Blue in Milwaukee took us back to simpler times of the chiller-diller, nut bar and fudge royale . A simple, soft-serve ice cream sundae with hot fudge and peanuts was just the treat for me. View photos…

The next evening, the club motored on to the Brew City Car Cruise held at the Highland House in Mequon. It was BMW night and a few Minis showed their expensive cousins what cool was all about. It’s not all German engineering though. Muscle cars, race cars and even an Amphicar also were at the scene. View photos…

After four years of cheesy-ness, Bessie needed a costume change. Many hours of hunting down a foam ball and cardboard cutting later, she was transformed from MINI Cooper into an ice cream sundae. Bessie joined 9 other Milwaukee MINI enthusiasts for the State Fair parade celebrating the delights of Wisconsin from cows to sports. View photos…
