Kentucky Derby Day Meeting

Derby Day Hat Contest

The Thorps suggested that we have a "Derby Day Hat" Contest, in keeping with the tradition of "outrageous" hats worn at Churchill Downs on Derby Day. The Club members came through with flying colors. As suggested, many ladies wore fancy hats and many men wore crazy sport coats and/or vests.
