Yeah! It is difficult to explain how big of a deal this weekend is for those who hail from the Bluegrass state. The kids are off school and the city of Louisville literally shuts down to celebrate for the weeks leading up. It's fabulous! Enjoy this special weekend, what are your plans?? Cheers!
I do miss Gold Cup. We used to go every Spring and Fall when I lived in Washington. If you're going have a great time!
throwing my first derby party! can't wait! unlike the downpour that is expected in louisville, the weather in the northeast is party-perfect! oh, and i'm hoping it's the 136th running, that or my invites are all wrong! hope you have a fun time watching the race!
