• History- this party has happened since 1992 for Susan with her Omaha roommate from Louiville- great way to meet guys- roommate married one that attended that 1st party!  Michigan roommate had a horse and liked the party.  Susan moved to Kentucky and attended the Derby- liked her party better. If watching a race go to Keeneland  Joe attended her Triple Crown Party that year....and Susan and Joe have shared juleps on the first Saturday of May with friends ever since...the fun was adding kids to the mix!
