We went to the MINI Takes the States event!

Updated on

We were so excited to participate in the MINI USA MINI Takes The States #MTTS2022 event in Vernon, NY! 

We joined over 3,500 other MINIacs on the road, where the biennial #ReuniteAndRally event made stops in eight cities and drove over 1,700 miles. The road trip lasted from July 9 to July 17, 2022, and stopped in the following locations:

  • Burlington, VT
  • Vernon, NY
  • Poconos, PA
  • Frederick, MD
  • Roanoke, VA
  • Bristol, TN
  • Asheville, NC
  • Greenville-Spartanburg, SC

Over 1,000 MINI cars came from all over the country to join in on the dog-friendly road trip! It was a unique way to celebrate the delivery of the limited-edition, high-
performance MINI GP, and to have fun while doing it.

The best part about MINI Takes the States is that besides being loads of fun on the road, the event also raised funds for Best Friends Animal Society, a no-kill animal rescue! They’ve partnered with MINI #ForTheDriveToSaveThemAll! 

We were fortunate enough to meet some of the MINI dogs that were along for the ride. Take a look:
