The Milwaukee Minis stampeded through the Wisconsin State Fair grounds. The crowds herded around to stare at the strange calvacade of Minis with their spots, bandanas, cow antenna decorations and crazy cow hats. It was a difficult drive with the people pressing in close to the street and dashing between vehicles. Luckily, no one lost any toes, legs or strollers. We did keep losing our spots, unfortunately, but the cow illusion was complete. After the parade, we joined the throngs of people and visited the many sites finishing with a delicious treat of flavored milk.

It was a glorious day for a parade. The sun was shining, the weather cool and the excitement high. Bessie and her wavers headed to the Wauwautosa Parade with the Milwaukee MINIs. We couldn’t help but be overwhelmed by the constant cries of “Candy, Candy, Candy” from both kids and adults alike. Those not concentrating on sugary treats spread their love for Bessie and we gratefully showed our appreciation.

The British are coming! The British are coming! That was the call from the revolutionary war soldiers as we entered the staging grounds for the Wauwatosa Fourth of July parade. Enjoy the MINIs decked out for a day on the town - American-patriot style!
