Welcome & Derby Review
May 7th, 2009 adminWelcome to those of you visiting for the first time. Feel free to share your thoughts.
The Kentucky Colonels Derby Extravaganza was again a great success. Colonels from 31 states, 3 Canadian provinces and the country of Panama drank juleps and placed bets throughout the afternoon. A few even cashed some tickets. Our lucky hat contest winners cased out on the long shot winner of the Derby. The winner of each of the two contests received winning tickets on all 19 horses in the race.
We will begin taking reservations for the 2010 Extravaganza in late October. Right now, we’re excited about our November 14 Colonels’ Day on Millionaire’s Row at Churchill Downs. So far, Colonels from 21 states have registered to attend.
Photo’s from our Thursday night party and from the 2009 Extravaganza will be posted in a few days.
