We’re starting the party early—before the official post time—so we don’t miss a moment of the fun!

🥃 Share your favorite Mint Julep recipe (or try ours!)

Join us for an evening of laughter, storytelling, and Derby-day excitement as we:

• Talk about the history and traditions of the Kentucky Derby
• Share favorite Derby memories—or visits to the Kentucky Horse Park
• Chat about books that feature the Derby
• Connect with fellow writers and readers

🎲 Games & Prizes!
We’ll have interactive games and a Derby-themed bingo card you can play during the party!

Prizes include:

• Coloring sheets
• A FREE critique of up to 5 pages of your work (with a bingo win!)

✨ And of course… we’ll talk writing, author promotion, and the ups and downs of life as an author.
