The Run for the Roses

It's that time of year again... The 134th running of the Kentucky Derby!!! Tiffany and I are hosting a Derby Party at our house. Come join us for the most exciting 2 minutes in sports!

For those of you who would like to attend, Post time is 3:05 pm Arizona Time on the First Saturday in May. Doors will open at 1:30 pm with the singing of My old Kentucky Home around 2:50 pm. Please RSVP if you would like to attend. RSVPs can be sent to tgcluff@yahoo.com and must be received by April 28, 2008.

The field of horses has not yet been announced, but when the field is announced, those of you who have reserved a place at the party will each be given a horse at random for which you can cheer along. There will be small prizes for those horses that win, place, and show.

If you are feeling lucky and would like to bet on your favorite horse, the betting window will be open to accept your candy bar bet. Odds will be posted at the betting window and the window will close at 3:00 pm sharp.

There will be a strict dress code in place and will be as follows: Men must wear a jacket with a collared shirt. Women must be in dresses with a hat! If you are not sure what kind of hat, just Google Kentucky Derby Hats on their image search for some ideas. Women are encouraged to make their own hats and be creative as there will be a few prizes for the hats.

If there are any questions please feel free to send an e-mail to tgcluff@yahoo.com

After the derby will be just socializing and hanging out! Hope to see you all at the Race!

Amanda won't be able to go (work or something), and I probably won't be able to make it either.

Go Seabiscuit! (Oh wait...)
