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! 

Once invited always invited, bring friends and family. If you know us, we'd love to see you. We host this gathering to say thank you to all that help and share this beautiful, special life on Newark-Granville Road.
