Over its 136-year history, the Kentucky Derby has amassed dozens of traditions that Churchill Downs’ employees, horsemen and millions of Derby fans worldwide hold dear.

This Saturday, May 1, 2010 you can be part of Lehigh Acres own Kentucky Derby Party at the Majestic Golf Club, hosted by the Lehigh Acres Chamber of Commerce. The fun starts at 4 p.m.. See the attached flyer for more details or go to their web site at www.LehighAcresChamber.org

From the iconic Twin Spires at Churchill Downs that overlook the track’s famous homestretch to the potent mint juleps that infuse Derby Day with “spirit,” traditions are an important part of the Derby experience.Every year, the Kentucky Derby Nation of fans looks forward to observing these storied rituals leading up to the “Greatest Two Minutes in Sports.”

The “Run for the Roses” goes hand in hand with great times and great eats. But you don’t have to go to Kentucky to experience all of this.

The Chamber urges everyone in Lehigh to celebrate the Kentucky Derby at the Majestoic Golf Club. Chamber promoters say the Derby draws large crowds each year at the Majestic. Big Scree TV, plenty of things to eat and fun things to do are all planned at The Majestic Golf Club.
