Kentucky Derby watch party to benefit riding center May 3

Southern Delaware Therapeutic Riding will host its annual Kentucky Derby watch party from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m., Saturday, May 3, at 17170 Harbeson Road, Milton. 

With hay bales moved aside, SDTR's riding arena will be transformed so guests feel like they’re in the middle of all the live racing action at Churchill Downs in Lexington, Ky.

Event highlights include an auction-parade of horses, best hat and crazy pants contests, and opportunities to take a chance on win, place or show. Along with heavy hors d’oeuvres, an open bar will feature mint juleps and an assortment of other drinks.

Funds raised will help SDTR continue its mission of enriching the lives of local children and adults with special needs, one stride at a time.
