Welcome to the Derby Party

Welcome! This is the view as you walk in the front door! We hope you have a great time!

The dining room table set up with all the food. From here you can see the hot browns (tasty!!), pimento cheese (from scratch, and wonderful if I do say so myself), shrimp salad from Costco, ham, rolls, cheese and pasta salad to the left. The center piece is an urn my MIL gifted to us after our wedding. The roses were from Costco and looked amazing!
More food from the other side of the table. Back right corner is the benedictine dip with veggies and in the front you see the tenderloin that hubby cooked on the rotisserie on our grill. Served with Henry Bain sauce, also made by Hubby!

View into the dining room from the entry way. Look at all that yummy food!

Your hosts for the evening!

Viewing area. Maybe you see yourself somewhere in this picture??? This is pre race as everyone was prepping for the betting. We posted facts on all 19 horses for you to review....Hope you make some good picks! (Hind sight really is 20-20, not sure anyone had the winner!!)

View into the kitchen area. The bar was set up over by the window. We had mint juleps, oaks lilies, beer, coke, diet coke, and other mixers for your enjoyment. Not to worry, plenty of water is available, too.

Co-hosts for the evening as it was somewhat sponsored by the business. (behind them is the dessert bar which I forgot to take a picture of. On it there was a red rose bouquet in a julep cup - given to one of the best hat winners - and multiple derby pies. I made 5, though only 3 were touched. Last year 2 went too quickly.)

(I bought the hat without the flower and added it later...needed some color in the outfit!)

Hope you had a great time at the party! We did!!! Great food and company!!! Looking forward to next year and the 3rd annual!!!
