Why the "almost?" This gathering typically happens on the first Saturday following the first day of Spring but we're moving it up one week to avoid the Easter weekend. --- Celebrate the arrival of Spring with the "Goodbye Winter Hello Spring†Guest Vendor Market when we gather for our 9th Annual EIM "Spring has [almost] Sprung" Meet-n-Eat at The NewBo City Market in Cedar Rapids. Lunch will be across the street at the Parlor City Pub. We will be in the Five Seasons room. We've reserved the room from 11 am to 2 pm. They will do individual checks. We are trying to get permission for special parking at the old Chrome Horse location, which is kiddy corner from the restaurant. We are hoping we can be visible like a MINI car show. We will post the parking specifics when they become available. Links to the location map and venues, as well as the typical RSVP link, are available in the MA Event Calendar Entry (<--link) for this event. Many thanks to Phil and Louanne for the venue idea and all of their advance planning. See ya there! ---
***Update*** Parking will be at 2nd Street and 10th Ave (across from 6 brick row houses). It's Parking Lot 44. Phil will have a MINI flag up to mark the location. After lunch, we'll give everyone time to browse the market, after which all are invited to walk over to Phil and Louanne's nearby condo (one block away) anytime between 1:00 and 1:30 pm for coffee and dessert. Direction to be provided at lunch.
Here is a few photos I was able to shoot. Unfortunately it looks like I missed 3 individual shots. Sorry to those 3 :mad2: Eastern Iowa MINIs by Grizld7 | Photobucket
