How to throw a Derby party.
- Serve Hot Browns, fried chicken and benetictine spread, bacon and spinich salad, cucumber-tomato pasta salad, strawberries, Mint Juleps and sweet tea
- There are fun ways to bet on the races without actually betting, like drawing the winner from a hat, everyone draws a horse and you pay $1 per draw. Winner takes all. For even more fun, add a separate hat to guess the horse that comes in last!
- Check out Liquor Barn and Party City for cute plates and napkins with a Derby theme.
