Derby Day

[Blue Streak]

Derby day is a week earlier than Mother's Day this year.
We might have to offer a separate one day event for Kentucky fried chicken and mint juleps!

Last year I did large scale meant juleps and fried chicken for derby day, since it corresponded with our mothers day celebration. However, this year it is
The week before.
Who is up for derby day at the beach on April 6?

 

[mdf]

Assume you mean MAY 6. Could be, depending on what the ortho says when I see him.

 

[Blue Streak]

Sorry.
Make that MAY 6!

 

[coskigirl]

April or May?

 

[Blue Streak]

The other April.

 

[coskigirl]

Posting at the same time...

 

[mdf]

Why not both

 

[Blue Streak]

Oh, there can certainly be shenanigans in April; however, it's not derby day!
Derby day is the worlds greatest excuse to make mint juleps!
And the best reason to find a designated driver

 

[Blue Streak]

It seems there are a few bourbon aficionados in our group, so derby day is right up our alley

Why not both

Do three and you can make black eyed susans en masse ...

Last year, we even had pewter tumblers!

The real delimma is when they run for the roses on May 5th, Cinco De Mayo. Bourbon and Tequila don't play well together. Can't your eyes open well enough to fight...

I just spent the last 3 days teaching a course on line with a native Louisville gentlemen. He had lots of really neat stories today. It was a Zoom class, so about 5pm, I turned on the TV so it was in the background, no sound. So every so often I'd say....this race....oh, what's the ??

He did mention that Churchill Downs in not in a really nice area of the city....

So glad for all involved that they were able to run it and have a crowd!
