Special Events for the Day:

Late morning: "MINIs at the Micro"

Micro-creamery that is!  England's Microcreamery in Haverhill, MA has agreed to open early to be inundated with travelling MINIs.  England's (how appropriate for a MINI run) is home to Guinness ice cream among other flavors.  For those who just can't eat ice cream before they have lunch, England's does offer a small lunch menu.
