It’s not too late, but then again maybe it is. According to very well placed sources, Turtle Creek Park Conservancy‘s Day at the Races presented by Truist on Saturday, May 4, is within a whisker of being sold out. It’s so much more fun than sitting at home in your jammies or cargo shorts with your pooch and a stale bag of chips watching the Kentucky Derby.
Taking place in an air-conditioned tent overlooking Turtle Creek, the event starts mid-afternoon with schmoozing, grazing, sipping and eyeballing guests and being eyeballed by the envious types. There will be so much more than the greatest two minutes in sports. Of course, there will be a live auction, hors d’oeuvres, all types of adult beverages, games, dancing, live music and the always surprising “chic chicks and dapper dudes competition” being judged by John Clutts, Lisa Cooley, Patti Flowers, Tanya Foster and Jill Rowlett.
There will also be a live auction for the wrist sparkling bracelet provided by Kelly Mitchell Fine Jewelry valued at $12,750.
According to Co-Chairs Melissa Sherrill Martin and Ross Martin, Honorary Chair Emilynn Wilson and TCPC President Tiffany Divis, patrons are in for quite a extra perk. Tuesday night (aka April 23) there’s to be a patron party at a retailer renowned for fashions highlighted by galloping hooves. Wink, wink.
Hint: Giddy up and and sign up for the patron level here or call Chris Denny at 214.971.3747 or Tiffany at 214-929-6006 and tell them that Mr. Ed sent you. If you’re sorta shy, you can always go online here to pick your place at the gate.
Patron level is a double doozy of an opportunity. Not only will you enjoy the patron perks on May 4, you just might find the perfect outfit to impress the other beautiful peeps.
