It's Derby Time!
I think part I the reason I love Derby is because it is my birthday too. They go hand in hand since my parties growing up were Derby parties.
I love all the activities. I love the fanfare. I miss the old days of several chow wagons. We always went every year when there were more choices. But now it is just on the waterfront. I understand wanting the river as a backdrop but convenience also should be considered.
The ballon glow is beautiful no matter where it is. But after last years fiasco at Bowman Field I think moving back to KFEC was a fantastic move.
The parade reminds me of high school because we always got out early that day since the parade was on Broadway and we would have been trapped.
Lots of partying. That's what comes to mind when people talk Derby here. Oaks Day is for the locals to get to the track. That's our day. But Derby Day is time for parties for us. Some people go all out with themes and such. Others just want to see their friends and hang out.
What a great time to be in Louisville!
