Celebrating Evening At The Races
2026 Evening At The Races a Huge Success
What a night to remember! On April 24th, we gathered together at the Presidential Banquet Center to celebrate our annual Derby Party, "Evening At The Races," and it was an incredible success. Thanks to each and every one of you who joined us, the event was a smashing hit, packed with excitement, joy, and camaraderie.
An Evening Full of Fun
With nearly 300 attendees, our venue was buzzing with energy. The air was filled with cheers as the pre-recorded horse races were televised on the big screen. It was thrilling to see everyone on the edge of their seats, hoping their chosen horse would cross the finish line first. The excitement and anticipation in the room were palpable, making it a truly unforgettable experience.
Culinary Delights
Our attendees enjoyed a delicious spread of food that everyone seemed to enjoy. The mashed potato bar served in martini glasses was a hit, offering a fun and unique twist on a classic favorite. The chicken wings and sliders were devoured, and the mini bundt cakes and cookieswere nothing short of heavenly, donated by Nothing Bundt Cake and The Cakery.
Entertainment Galore
The DJ played an eclectic mix of tunes that had attendees dancing between races. The photobooth captured countless smiles and memories, and we hope you all enjoyed posing with your friends and loved ones. Our popup shop was busy, offering an array of artwork and fascinators created by our artist-clients.
