Run for the Roses Party!

Yes our annual Derby Party is back....our Valentine Card with invite had a typo- argh!  Derby Day is Saturday, May 4th- how is that a week from tomorrow? Wow!  The photo to the right shows our weekend this weekend....needless to say all the of the "before Derby" projects are not going to happen. Oh Well!  We host this party to connect with friends and connect friends to one another and kick-off summer as best we can!  Once invited, always invited....We hope you will sip a julep with us....bonus points if you wear a hat!  Bite size food is a nice to bring- we'll have juleps, Yuengling, and lemonade....some wine of course too. The weather forecast at this point is sunny but cool so dress appropriately.  We have two bands under the tent this year- woo hoo!  How nice is that- people who want to share their talent at this gathering!! Still figuring out details but know we'd love to see you with or without your kids- your call.  Our kids love to host their friends. We will have some sitters to help keep things happy.  Warn your kids  no pony rides this year....stage and tent take that budget item.  Love watching kids bring their lax stix, play with the riding stick horses, etc...

Lots of good work is going on that day to benefit our community and Janet Gregory- thanks to all involved in that and the Great Granville Yard Sale.  We admire your work and look forward to welcoming you to break time and toasting the effort with a beverage!

Derby started well before our life on Newark-Granville Road did!  I started this with Ellen in Omaha, it continued in fun forms in each city. The arrival of children took it to new places and the reality is each year is unique!  Can't wait to see what this year brings...cooler weather in the forecast- one year it snowed...everyone think blue skies and bright sunshine!! Friends and family included, someone new to town- please bring them- we'd love to meet them. Parking is tough consider walking/drop off/bikes...let me know if you have other questions...and again- Saturday, May 4th (not the 2nd darn typo) the 139th Run for the Roses!!  anytime after 4pm!  Have something else come late, we're here until Sunset....
