Details:
·      Friends and family of all ages welcome, we encourage you to bring those new to the community!
·      We will toast the day with Mint Juleps, Granville Brewing Beer on tap and soft drinks. Kentucky inspired fare and birthday cupcakes, a bit sized appetizer or dessert has become tradition, but not required.
·      Common Thread (fabulous Granville musicians) will perform before the race- 4:30 pm. We’ll have a stage, consider it an open mic night as well!
·      Hats are encouraged, gifts are not- we host this to thank you, connect with you!
·      Parking always a challenge, consider carpool, walking, drop off.

ALSO don't forget the singles- $2 per bet- we keep it simple- fill out a ticket with your name and horse's name. winners split the pot-paramutual!!  Often our party pay-outs are better than real odds!

Helpful to know if you can attend, no formal guest list kept, but we do try to estimate the number!     614 507 0751 ssleithauser@gmail.com
We'll keep updated posted here- check back!  
Behind the scenes scoop- thank you Lee Otter for the suggestion of making it a birthday celebration too!  Joe enjoyed turning the big 50 in February and has enjoyed some guy trips. Susan will hit the special day in July and has some things planned but this felt right. Next year- Clare's High School Graduation is the theme!

Also happening on May 5th- Granville Farmers Market Opening!

How many times were you invited?  We send out emails, holiday greetings, send to group chats- sports teams, committees and groups.....and soon I'll even text?!! It amazes me the way we communicate in today's world- but nothing beats the in person engagement...like this party can provide. Hope to see you...and yes, find us at the party!!
