Deacon is sad to be missing his favorite day of the entire horse racing season - it's Kentucky Derby Day! You may be getting your mint julep on at the Willard hotel, as per our earlier post, but if you're interested in being charitable and still enjoying the race, we'd suggest the following outing:
The excitement of Churchill Downs comes to Northern Virginia on Saturday, May 1st, with the 15th Annual PRS Kentucky Derby Benefit Party. The area’s most festive celebration of the Run for the Roses will feature live music from the Wayward Street Players, delectable heavy hors d'oeuvres, mint juleps, a fabulous shrimp & oyster bar, exciting live and silent auctions, raffle drawings, a wagering table, and the viewing of the 136th Kentucky Derby. The event is Saturday, May 1, 2010, from 4:30 PM to 8:00 PM, at the elegant private home of Fairfax County Supervisor John Foust and his wife Dr. Marilyn Jerome, in McLean, Virginia (address and directions provided upon purchase of tickets). Tickets are $125 each. Proceeds from the event benefit PRS, the premier nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization in Northern Virginia providing community-based support services and skills training needed for men and women to recover from mental illness. For more information and to purchase tickets visit www.prsinc.org <http://www.prsinc.org> or contact Tammy De Martino at tdemartino@prsinc.org or 703-531-6321.
