Leithauser Derby: The 148th Run for the Roses Party, Saturday May 7, 2022

Derby Party, Run for the Roses Party, it is time

Check back in for update- 5/1/22  (So much for weekly updates!)

5/6/22 DERBY EVE  Day Update- So the forecast isn't great but we've had worse- yes snowflurries one year!  A dear friend who is a coach said it perfect- get one of your bartenders juleps and it doesn't matter!  I'm not sure what I'm wearing- stick with the plan and put a turtleneck under or call upon a beloved hat that will allow me to be in wool! Ha- I'm extroverting no snow in this year's forecast- I'll just do what my Mom is doing- layer!

Yes- Jeanne Stoner is coming to Derby, has not been here sine 2017- can't wait! she is on her way with dear friend Michael Bolinger.  She is looking forward to showing him our wonderful community- first stop- The Works!  And Peter is home!

What else do you need to know..I've had fun with Facebook and posting past pics- love how this party evolves.  Bring your dollars- although maybe we should think about away to venmo for betting- next year!  Peter will be taking your wagers for 2022! he is home and Lucy gave him the best greeting last night!

Saturday, May 7, 2022- the 1st Saturday in May!
