Guests donned their finest Derby attire and joined us on Saturday, May 2 in the Main Dining Room for the most exciting two minutes in sports!
The afternoon featured Bar Director Tobin Shea’s Triple Crown cocktail collection, Southern-inspired bites by Chef Neal Fraser, and live music to set the tone for a festive Derby celebration.
Guests picked their horse, placed bets, and watched the race in style. And of course, they came dressed to impress for a chance to win a prize at our best dressed contest!
