Saturday afternoon, we were invited to a derby party with 14 other couples, by Sue and Allen Hanson and Marilyn and Don Karsten. We were asked to dress as though we were attending a derby. It was pretty hot, so a lot of people wore shorts with their hats. We divided into three groups and played a horse race board game. We paid a dollar for two rolls of pennies, then paid for horses that scratched, and won if you had the winners numbers. They also had a Canadian guy who was the "pit bull", who whacked people who didn't pay or behave correctly, and also rewarded winners. It was a hoot! It was amazing how excited everyone got-but fun!! We all took appetizers and of course they were delicious! Even the hats were fun! A second annual derby party gets our votes!
Here's a picture of our hats.
