What to Bring
Food
There is usually plenty to eat, including derby pie, but feel free to bring a dish to help feed the crowd. But, let us know what you plan so we don't end up with 5 macaroni and cheese dishes.
Beverages
There will be mint juleps of course, and a base collection of beer, wine, liquor & mixers. But if you want something particular, bring some to share. Oh, and a party can't have too much ice.
A Derby Hat
For the fillies that want to participate in the annual hat parade, which takes place about an hour before the feature race (6:45 pm). Juveniles are welcome to participate.
