One of the things I have enjoyed about living in Louisville is the fact I have been exposed to something new and unique to this part of the country. Is it basketball?
No. Is it snow? Well, no – I experienced this when I was living in Tennessee. It’s horse racing! I have always enjoyed horses (we had our own horse growing up named Caleb Jones), and so I was excited to be part of the Churchill Downs culture. We do have the Kentucky Derby here every year – and what is amazing is the fact Churchill Downs is nearly right across the street from the university. This was one of the things that impressed me during my campus visit! 🙂
Since I have been at the University of Louisville, we all go together at the end of the semester to Dawn at the Downs, a breakfast event where we are able to experience Millionaire’s Row and watch the Derby and Oaks horses workout in style. Great times!
This year, the event was pretty fabulous! We all got dressed up and embraced the complete experience of Churchill Downs. I even made a Ptch of the time we had last week here.
Unfortunately, I was not able to make it to Derby this year (the weather was not that pleasant), however, there are many more years to come to attend the iconic racing event! 🙂
Hope you all are having a great day!
Best Wishes,
Karen
