Caravan from Western NY to Yankee Candle

Pamlico is organizing a mini-MINI Caravan from western New York to South Deerfield, MA to join up with the Yankee Candle Caravan to the White Mountains.

He writes: “There are a few hearty souls from this god-forsaken region that will be attending the 2007 edition of MOT. Plus there some even heartier souls from even further West that seem to planning on heading there as well.

Might be fun to gather as a mini-caravan and go en petite masse to South Deerfield, MA, on Thursday, 14 June. Next morning join up with Theo’s YC caravan.

A good place to meet for this is in Bushnell’s Basin, a hamlet located just off the NY State Thruway. Specifically, at the Oven Door Bakery whose owner conveniently has a MINI.”

You can get additional information and sign-up for the caravan by visiting this MINI2 thread.

Announcing the MOT 2007 Boot Sale

We are happy to announce that this year’s MINIs On Top event will again include the popular MINI Boot Sale!

A Boot Sale is like a Tag or Garage Sale, but all the items being sold by a single seller must be able to be transported in the boot of his/her MINI. The Boot Sale will take place at the Loon Mountain lot between 8:00am and 11:30am on Saturday, June 16th. This year, we will allow one table or one tarp laid on the ground in front of the boot of the parked MINI for display purposes.

While a basic MINI theme should prevail for most of the items being sold, other items may be included like books, magazines, crafts, baked goods, and other treasures. Items for sale must not be hazardous; for example: no weapons, no fireworks, no WMD, and other such stuff.

You can read more about the Boot Sale and indicate your interest in being a seller on THIS MINI2 thread.
