Bessie and the Milwaukee Minis spread their cheer at the State Fair parade. It seemed a little different from years past. The night before, riots had broken out – don’t ask me why. So the day at the fair seemed lightly attended with a little less pep than years before. The police seemed to be at every corner, keeping the peace. No crazy people running through the parade were maimed, and not for lack of trying on their part. We did have a lot of fun and brought some smiles to the fair-goers faces, which makes it all worth it. View photos…

The Milwaukee Minis and Bessie had a wonderful time celebrating Independence day with the residents of New Berlin. I even managed to wave to my friend who I was convinced I would miss. Next year, I need some new decorations. Anyone got any ideas? View Photos…

Surprisingly, there were a lot less potentially fatal accidents this year at State Fair. I almost got one group, but they narrowly escaped. Not that I was aiming for them, no. More like, I was busy doing my parade duties of waving, grinning, steering, keeping an eye out for danger, while they did their anti-parade maneuver of jumping out in front of a moving vehicle. Other than that, the parade went off without a hitch. I feel like the Milwaukee Minis really know what their doing now and could just randomly gather, throw on some decorations and start a parade. We’ll have to start the world’s first MINI motoring band. I promise not to play, drive and take photos. Anyway, view State Fair photos…
