Yesterday was one of my favorite activities of the year: the Kentucky Derby!
And in my town, the KenDUCKY Derby, where thousands of rubber duckies race down the creek that meanders through town!
My best friend and I attend the latter event each year, donning hats or fascinators, dresses and boots or heeled sandals while sipping mint juleps at Rebellion Brewing and taking in everyone else's derby attire.
There were 2,456 ducks racing in this year's derby event; their efforts raised over $10,000 yesterday! And All My Friends provided a fun event for the community at the same time. It was a win/win!
And then, it's time for the grand finale: the dumping of the ducks into Cedar Creek! And cheering ours on!
The duck race is run by All My Friends, a local nonprofit that builds sensory rooms, playgrounds, camp scholarships, and more for children with Autism and intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).
But sadly, not for any of the ducks I sponsored as last week's Kindness Countdown activity.
But there's always next year!
Hope to see you there!!
