DRESS THE PART
FOR OUR KENTUCKY DERBY DINNER/CELEBRATION
SATURDAY, MAY 4, 2019
When thousands of people stream into Churchill Downs on Saturday for the Kentucky Derby, all eyes won't be on the race track. Instead, many will be looking for the signature hats worn by the female attendees in a variety of styles, including headbands, fascinators, parasols, top hats, fedoras, ascots, and wide-brimmed hats.
But why hats?
It's a tradition that dates back to when the Kentucky Derby first started in 1875.
"When women got dressed up, especially when they were going to church and formal events, the woman's crowning glory was the hat.”
“In the South, women pride themselves on going big or going home"!
According to the Kentucky Derby's
website, the hat-wearing tradition was started by founder Col. Meriwether Lewis Clark, Jr., who modeled the race after high-class European racing events. At races across the pond, many women are seen sporting hats as well.
Although, there are no rules when it comes to picking out a hat for the Kentucky Derby. It is your statement piece!
And don't be surprised to see both men and women wearing hats on Saturday, May 4, 2019 at the Rotary 6910 District Conference for their Kentucky Derby Dinner/Celebration.
PRIZE FOR THE BEST HAT AND BEST DRESSED:
So come dressed for the race. Either bring your hat or order one from Andrea’s Hat Shop at
SetarTrading.com
PRIZE FOR THE BEST HORSE:
And don’t forget the horse race. Each club is asked to enter their own horse in the race / parade on Saturday Evening Dinner.
