Members of the Birdie Wannabees organized a party to enjoy the 2009
Kentucky Derby. Everyone was invited and a really nice group
attended. There were mint juleps, lots of things to eat,
beautiful hats, exciting contests, and of course, the Derby
itself. A good time was had by all. Oh, by the way, this
year's official colors were Red, Black, and Beige. Thanks to Jim
Markusen for some of these pics.
