Let's get lucky in Kentucky!

My annual Derby Party for family, friends and neighbors. My late husband started the tradition about 13 years ago after the passing of his Great Aunt who left behind a number of elaborate church hats. He encouraged family members to come to Kentucky for Derby weekend and wear the hats. We invited family and friends to celebrate with us and a tradition was born.

Though my husband passed away two years ago, his family wanted to continue and so we have.

  Put the hats on the champagne flutes even though she thought it was over the top.
