We had our very first Kentucky Derby party at our farm this weekend and had a blast. It was just a small group of family and friends. We did a little fun wagering and had a contest for best Hat. It was lots of fun and will be doing it again next year. Here a couple of pics of our hats.

Looks like fun--hope you had some traditional Kentucky Derby cuisine? The Benedictine was a hit here, in the Bluegrass. Not much effort and was soooo good and tasty!

It looks like you all had a great time, thanks for sharing those pics Jennifer. Wasn't this derby exciting? I surely wasn't expecting that.

That was a awesome race. We didn't have any traditional cuisine but we did have mint juleups. Does that count?
