You can bet that when the professionals at Cashiers Valley Real Estate decide to host a Kentucky Derby Fundraising Party, it’ll be anything but a dark horse.
“Saddle up for an unforgettable Kentucky Derby celebration benefiting The Village Green this May,” says Cashiers Valley’s Sarah Jennings, who’s drawing up plans for this celebration even as you’re reading this. “It’ll be a party loaded with Derby fashion, dinner, drinks, music, games and thrilling horse racing action. We will also be broadcasting the Kentucky Derby live during the evening and taking your bets. You could walk away with some fabulous prizes!
“Mark and Brandy Letson are our emcees, and they know how to keep a party lively! Our official clothier is Onward Reserve, and since you simply can’t have a Derby Party without a sea of stylish Kentucky Derby hats, The Highland Hatter will be on hand to ensure everyone is in style.
“Did we mention mint juleps? Our sponsor, Woodinville Whiskey Co. will be serving up some delicious derby cocktails. And for those who prefer beer and wine, Whiteside Brewing Company will set up a well-stocked serving station. And The Library Kitchen & Bar will be catering the event, so no one will go away less than fully satisfied. Tickets are $250 per person.
“We are so excited to kick off the season with an event supporting one of our local treasures. As an organization, Cashiers Valley Real Estate is committed to supporting local organizations. We pride ourselves in getting involved and being imbedded in this community.” So what’s behind the fun, the finery and the general excitement?
The Derby Party is a major fundraiser for the Village Green, the vital emerald heart of the Cashiers community.
It’s a 13.2-acre park located at the crossroads of Highway 64 and Highway 107. Hosting thousands of visitors and over 80 events each year, The Village Green is not only the heart of Cashiers in its location, but also in its ability to draw family and friends together in community. It’s a special place where people and nature come together.
You can stroll the paths of the park around grassy lawns, along wetlands and through the forest glade. Enjoy a picnic lunch with friends. Learn about raptors, honeybees, native plants and bears. Celebrate the seasons and capture treasured moments with family. Discover art, culture and regional heritage. Host a party, wedding or reunion. Photograph colorful dahlias. Listen to a concert. Dance beneath the stars.
