Do you have a hat that is of a Kentucky Derby style? It's amazing how big some of those are!

Hi Dorie,
That looks like a lot of fun. My sis-in-law had a collection of Kentucky Derby glasses. I still haven't figured out what to do with them. We tried to sell them at one point, with no takers.

Hi Carol Williams ,

A Kentucky Derby party is so fun! You have to have prizes for the best hat and the horse to win!

That gives me an idea. I could have a Kentucky Derby party and give the glass collection as a prize. 😂

I don't know enough about the horses to be all that interested in it, but I do enjoy seeing the race and the people's fancy hats, haha.

Hi Dorie- I hope you and your besties will be attending and if you do, I want to see you in your hat!!! We went to one when we lived in Leesburg, VA. It was held in Middleburg (big horse country) and Robert Duval was there.
