Having lived in Kentucky for seven years, it is absolutely shameful that I have never been to the Derby, or to Keeneland for that matter. Well, I fixed that this year. I even had a hat. A BIG one.
A few days before the Derby I went downtown to Nitro for this event they have every year. Nitro is a clothing/jewelry shop (with absolutely adorable and unique things to fill your closet) run by a sweet lady by the name of Sherry. The first lady (of Kentucky) comes and picks out her favorite hat, and they put it on display and give it away the day before Derby. I won the hat! Just happening to be downtown when my dad called to tell me, I went by the shop to pick it up. They were so sweet, I had been having a lot of trouble trying to pick out a hat…the one I wanted was the one they gave away (to me!)!!! It is absolutely fabulous! I got so many compliments on it, and it was so fun to wear! I am definitely doing the Derby…at least the hat part…again!
Thank you Mrs. Fletcher for having such great taste in hats!!!
Nice hat.
You looke like Eliza from My Fair Lady.
Your cousins did the horse watching part of the Derby.
Take care.
