Derby Day Party at the Pequot Library
Tuesday, May 03, 2011
Dust off your fanciest hat for the Pequot Library’s Third Annual Derby Day, celebrating the 137th Run for the Roses. The annual affair, held on the Library Lawn features frosty mint juleps, Kentucky fare, live race coverage, and prizes. The highlights of the afternoon are the tailgate parties. Attendees can opt to bring their own car and tailgate set-up, or even upgrade with a car provided from the Classic Car Gallery in Southport for an additional donation to the Library.
Saturday, May 7 from 4 - 7 PM
This year the event will include a 50/50 raffle to benefit the library, where raffle tickets are put in bowls for each horse and winning tickets picked from those of the horses that win, place, and show. A high definition system will project the race on the large screen in Pequot Library’s Auditorium where the cheers become deafening as the horses make the far turn and head down the last stretch for the finish line.
Tickets and tailgating spots are still available here (but going fast!) or call Robin Jerrild at 203-259-0346 x13 to secure your place at the race.
