🏇 Derby Delights – Start your evening in the West Gym with Mint Juleps (the signature Derby cocktail!) and other drinks plus a spread of Southern-inspired bites that will have you racing back for seconds. New this year, The Paddock will be a dedicated gathering space to reconnect with old friends or meet new ones! Whether you're arriving solo or meeting up with a group, The Paddock is the perfect meet-up spot during the Pre-Party. Derby Day committee members will be on hand to welcome guests, and you will have the opportunity to enter the drawing for a fantastic Yeti cooler. Special thanks to the Martin Family for sponsoring the Derby Day Pre-Party and to Isiah and Erin Salazar & Jason and Angelique Belvill for sponsoring The Paddock.
