And do we know what could be on the horizon. Mainly when is a new mini coming. I know one was last fall but would hate to buy a mini and a new one comes out the next month.
When is the next Apple event?

Not an answer - just an observation...
The next event?
Only Apple knows - and they're not telling.
For the last couple of years, Apple tends to release updated products without a lot of fanfare, and when they are ready to release.
If you buy a new mini now - it's not going to suddenly expire when a new update is released. It will continue to be the tool that you purchased, and do the job that you want that mini to do. If a new model comes along, that has that new feature that is your new 'must-have', then you eBay the old one, and buy the new one - simple, eh?
If you wait to buy, then you'll end up disappointed because Apple 'forgot' that must-have thing that all the 'rumors' said was in the next update, and Apple (again) ignored your pet project...

Mac Mini would usually not be a product that gets its own main event - at least usually its updates have been some speedbumps and small parts upgrades. Completely new or revamped products are those more likely to get a media event as those will benefit of the higher visibility.
You can make a guess on when the new Mac Mini will be out, e.g. based on the average speed of its updates in the past. That's as far as anyone can go. If you really need one now, I'd say get one now.
