Downtown Derby Day Success!
As our community searches for a way to regain a sense of normalcy, the return of events is a huge step. When we started planning our Downtown Derby Day, our largest fundraiser to date, we fought so much uncertainty. Lawrenceburg showed us they are READY for events to return! From selling twenty tables and several individual tickets, we were so lucky to welcome everyone back to Downtown!
Starting our day at 3PM, with beautiful tables set up outside, we kicked off Derby Day with races and raffle style betting happening with all the Kentucky Derby races. Delicious food rolling out all day and night from Society kept everyone going while they served perfectly derby themed mint juleps and drinks! The Reserve was hopping all day and night with games, fun, and silent auctions. Downtown Lawrenceburg is thankful to board members and Downtown merchants Jason Grayson & Rebecca Story for donating the use of their businesses for this event.
After a full afternoon of racing, Groove Addiction, one of Nashville’s hottest party bands kicked off a non-stop dance party. The band kicked off the night with hits from all genres and time eras and helped us have even more fun! Downtown Lawrenceburg is so grateful to board member Tiffany Cope, from Crye-Leike Realty, for sponsoring the band, Downtown Derby Day would NOT have been the same without them!
Downtown Lawrenceburg is so grateful to have raised well beyond our goal for this event. Without the support from community members like YOU we would not be able to fulfill our mission of preservation, economic development, and promotion in the historic downtown district. All the funds for this event are going directly to the purchase of the twenty-two foot LED programmable christmas tree for the Square.
