Looking for something new, fun, and exciting to do with your girls or maybe just want to have a special Thank You event but not sure what you should do? Well I think throwing a Kentucky Derby party as well as attending a race will be an extraordinary idea!

The Kentucky Derby is one of the USA's oldest Thoroughbred horse races however there are tons of races that occur throughout the year. I have provided a listing of the North American trackes below. In addition to the race itself, a number of traditions play a large role in the Derby atmosphere. The Mint Julep, an iced drink consisting of bourbon, mint and a sugar syrup is the traditional beverage of the race. The historic drink can be served in an ice-frosted silver julep cup but most Churchill Downs patrons sip theirs from a souvenir glass printed with all previous Derby winners. Also, burgoo, a thick stew of beef, chicken, pork and vegetables, is a popular Kentucky dish served at the Derby. Women appear in fine outfits lavishly accessorized with large, elaborate hats. Alot of well known celebrities attend and more of the well established parties. It mostly attracts the rich, the famous and the well-connected. All these elements can help you with throwing your party. You can have your guests participate by using off- track betting, "OTB" and then watching from a screen TV. Everyone will really be into it. You can thank your guests for attending with a fashionable thank you favor from our very own Bella M Events website at the following link http://bellamevents.theaspenshops.com/.
