It’s time to check out those great creameries scattered across central Maryland again, it is the annual creamery run. We will be starting in Frederick, MD and winding our way through some great roads to 3 different creameries, and an optional 4th, to get those VA drivers back south of the river.

What a fun day! (so much for thinking it was a 1/2 day event!) .. had other plans for the holiday weekend that fell through -- on a lark checked DC Metro page to see if there were any MINI events and lucked out on this one! Great weather, to boot! 

It was great to meet new MINI enthusiasts .. for all those events we chatted about, check out the following "overnight" events (this is just the ones I know of / have attended that are coming to mind right now. I've tried to include approximate dates for the '26 / '27 ones.)

Sorry for no links ... but I know if you can drive the twisties, you can Google-search
