Is Your Kentucky Derby Hat Ready? And How About Your Mint?

The Kentucky Derby will be run next Saturday, May 5. And aside from the horses, the two things I most associate with the Derby are the dramatic hats worn to the track, and the mint juleps. But there is so much other fun associated with this big event, that someday I hope to be in Louisville to experience all of it during the week prior to the race. The Courier-Journal of Louisville Kentucky has a fun site that gives you the flavor of the city, along with galleries of the hats, parties, and festivals. After looking through these galleries, I'm sure you'll be inspired to host your own Kentucky Derby Party.
