In 2015, Kari Saunders, an enthusiastic Central Iowa MINI Club member, planned a fun night at the Valle Drive-In Movie Theater in Newton. It was such a success we did it again last year, despite the threat of rain. Although Kari passed away this year her spirit lives on and in her honor we’ll carry on with MINIs at the Drive-In. Rain or shine, despite what movie is playing, we’ll head to Newton for dinner at Moo’s BBQ and Blues then on to the show!

We’ve changed the date to Saturday September 23 in hopes of avoiding an all R rated bill as was the case on our original date.

We’ll first meet at the east parking lot of the Hy-Vee Food Store at 108 8th Street SW in Altoona around 3:30 and we plan on departing as a convoy from there at 4 PM sharp! If you miss us there you can catch up with us at Moo’s, it’s just north of I-80 off Exit 164. Additional details and the featured movies (does it really matter?) will be announced as the date approaches. Let’s inundate the Drive-In with MINIs!!
