Well, it is time to saddle up your horses! This is the race, the Kentucky Derby, the Run for the Roses. You want to see the greatest, and the greatest of all horse races is the Kentucky Derby. And, we want you to see this greatest of all horse races with us on May 3!
Our Kentucky Derby Watch Party will be held at the lovely home of Patti and Ken Gregory in Charleston on Saturday, May 3, beginning at 4 p.m.
A fun afternoon filled with numerous Derby activities awaits you. Trophies for the Most Original Hat and Most Traditional Hat will be awarded. Pick your favorite horse to bet on during the race, while you sip on cool peach tea. Mint juleps will also be available to ensure that attendees experience the festive atmosphere of Churchill Downs.
Oh, and the food! What is better than watching the Derby? Dinner with the Derby. Join us for a barbecue dinner with all the trimmings. We guarantee that our menu will complement your drink of choice for the afternoon and that no one will leave hungry.
If betting on horses is not your thing, never fear, because we have other fun items to keep you busy until we watch the race. You can also gather around our piano to sing a chorus or two of “My Old Kentucky Home.”
If you would like to attend our Kentucky Derby Watch Party and continue to support CARE, tickets may be purchased at CARE, the Flower Basket and Gifts, or State Farm Insurance in Charleston. We will not sell tickets at the door. Each ticket is $25, which includes your drink of choice and dinner.
So, pick out your fancy hat, review those Derby horse options and join us for the CARE Run for the Roses on Saturday, May 3!
