Stacy Boulevard

With more fabulous weather, we headed down to the Gloucester Waterfront Festival (an annual two day tent/stalls event selling food, artisan items and oddities!) – but with lots of traffic due to it’s popularity, we parked a distance away and walked along Stacy Boulevard to get there, admiring the Ocean and all the American flags; we also watched the Cut Bridgeopen and let some boats through. At the Waterfront Festival, in Stage Fort Park, in addition to all the stalls we were able to enjoy the pebble beach, and more classic cars!

After yet another fabulous MINIsOnTop recently, including a great morning at Loon Mountain with 220 perfectly parked MINIs, we were invited to Loon Mountain today to help with parking an anticipated 200 classic cars for their Kruise the Kanc Classic Car Drive.
Rarely likely to turn down a chance to get together, about 10 MINI owners headed up … sadly, we nearly outnumbered the classic cars, parking only 20 in the end! But the company was great, the cars that did show were spectacular, and the (mid 80s) weather was amazing! So, here’s some pictures …

Volunteers included Pete, Ivan, Kevin, Shannon, Chip, Richard, Theo …

Lots of nice cars arrived, not really enough to need help with parking though!

 

After a wile, the cars headed off to drive the Kancamagus Highway:

Our trip up to New Hampshire was due to an invite by Loon Mountain to assist them with parking for their Kruise the Kanc Classic Car Drive (the Kancamagus Highway celebrates 50 years this year!)

Sadly, instead of the hoped for 200+ classic cars, only 20 made it to the event (although a group of five MG’s arrived just after everyone else left) – but still we MINI folks enjoyed the day, helping with parking, admiring the cars that did attend, and enjoying the amazing weather (baking sun with temps in the mid 80s!)

Lots of pictures over on GBMINI; here’s one example …
