The Minnesota Austin-Healey Club is hosting "Healey Hillclimb V" to be held at the Afton Alps Recreation Area just east of Minneapolis/St. Paul on Saturday, July 8th (rain date Sunday, July 9th).

Please accept this invitation to our 5th hillclimb, and feel free to pass this along to anyone who may be interested.

The text of the flier is printed below, and I'll see if I can figure out how to attach the full color jpeg.

Hope you can make it!
