Drive to Dine in Weston:

We depart the parking lot at South Main Street, immediately south of the railroad track, Parkville, MO, at 12:00 Noon in a caravan, Sunday, November 12. This should help you find us: once you cross the track southbound in Parkville, we’ll be in the lot on the east side of Main Street. Look for the Benzes, of course. Printed instructions to Weston will be available.

Destination: Green Dirt Farm Creamery, 1099 Welt Street, Weston, MO 64098. Highly recommended by husband-wife club members who straddle the Porsche-Mercedes divide with vintage examples of each.

Not your roadside burger bar. All offerings are as locally sourced as possible, with gourmet sandwiches paired with Green Dirt Farm cheeses and other fresh ingredients. Or try their small plates menu and share a selection of cheese and charcuterie boards accompanied by bottle of local wine or beer. For dessert try a locally made ice cream from Betty Rae’s. Before you leave, be sure to check out the fine product selections they can mail to lucky recipients on your gift list. (You have started your shopping, right?)

We have a private dining area reserved, so a head count would be graciously appreciated. Email [email protected] with the numbers attending not later than Friday, November 10.

First Tuesday Spassnacht September 5

Stretch your Labor Day weekend into Tuesday with your Benz buddies at O'Neill's, NE corner of 95th Street and Mission Road, Leawood. Look for us in the private dining room at 6:30 p.m. where the full menu is available for your dining pleasure.

Note: Plans are well underway for the annual Oktoberfest All-German Car Show this year on Sunday, October 8th. A few details have yet to be nailed down with all the clubs; we’ll have an upcoming event notice posted soon on the MBCA website. Hear a preview of plans and ask questions at Spassnacht.

Join us as we try a new meeting place and experience.  The Toyosu Asian buffet has many different items to try or create your own entree with their chef at their Mongolian grill.

The restaurant offers a great private meeting place for members to explore.

Hope to see you there. 

First Tuesday Spassnacht August 1

Spassnacht's back! We're resuming our usual schedule after an uncharacteristic interruption in July. (Okay, it was the Fourth. We have to make certain allowances...)

Anyway, we're back on track for August. So come on out and catch up with the usual suspects and maybe even some new ones. You'll find us at O'Neill's, NE corner of 95th Street and Mission Road, Leawood. Join us in their private dining room at 6:30 p.m. where the full menu is available for your dining pleasure.

If you showed up at O’Neill’s on July 4th despite our multiple cancellation announcements and found O’Neill’s closed, we’ll treat you to a complimentary libation as consolation. For evidence we’ll need a selfie of you (despondent countenance preferred) at O’Neill’s entrance with their closed sign clearly visible, programmatically geotagged (no manual entries, please) with WGS-84 lat-long location, July 4th date and time stamped 6:30 p.m. CDT (or UTC equivalent), plus or minus five minutes. What could be fairer than that?

Before you know it, Christmas will be here!  It’s just around the corner! 

The North Texas Section of the Mercedes Benz Club of America will be holding its annual Christmas party on December 9, 2023, 6:00pm, at Eldorado Country Club.  The setting is festive and the food is delicious.  Overall, it will be just what you need to keep you in that festive mood for celebrating!!

The festivities will begin at 6:00pm with cocktails and an assortment of delicious cheeses, crackers, fruits and berries.  Dinner includes a delicious dinner buffet with an assortment of foods from which to choose, featuring a beef tenderloin filet carving station as well as pan seared chicken.  Dessert will also be served. Coffee, tea and water will be available throughout dinner also.  Tickets will be $50 per person and can be purchased by registering and paying through the TWO buttons below - BOTH ARE REQUIRED.  The deadline for registering is December 4, 2023 so that a good head count can be given to the venue.

There will be a pay as you go bar with wine, beer and mixed drinks.

Our entertainment for the evening will be the Lovejoy High School Choral. They will be singing Christmas music following dinner.  You don’t want to miss them!

It was such a big hit last year, back by popular demand, the “white elephant” gift exchange is planned again this year. Each person that would like to participate needs to bring a wrapped gift of something that is no longer wanted, needed or used!  It should be something you already have; please don’t buy anything new for this!! The “white elephant” exchange is always fun and will help you to get to know everyone better.  It’s a real ice breaker!! We will also have Mercedes merchandise as door prize / raffle.

Eldorado Country Club is located just off Eldorado Road and Hwy 75 at 2604 Country Club Dr, McKinney, TX 75072.

Cocktail attire will be the dress for the evening.  It should be a great evening of fun, food, fellowship, and festivities while we celebrate the holiday season. Be sure to mark your calendar now and plan to attend!!

We are looking forward to a great night together.

Please do BOTH Pay Now AND Register Here

Event Registrations is Closed. We have submitted out count to the venue.

Join us as we celebrate our second annual Benz & Brats pot luck dinner.
