This is a fun and exciting time of year in the Louisville area. Almost everyone catches the Derby fever. There are so many different events for everyone to attend. A few of the many events include Thunder Over Louisville, the Pegasus Parade, the Balloon Glimmer, the Great Steamboat Race, the Oaks, and of course the Kentucky Derby.
Each year when I was teaching I recall planning many learning activities associated with the Derby. Each year we would schedule a trip to the Derby Museum for the week preceding the Derby. It was always the favorite field trip of students, parents, and teachers too. Not only was it beautiful with all the tulips in bloom, but also there was an exciting atmosphere. The students always loved the activities associated with the Derby and the visit to Churchill Downs was the culminating activity. To be able to watch the Derby with their parents on Derby Day and see the places they had visited was a fascinating experience for them.
Hope everyone enjoys the many fantastic Derby events!!!

]]>For many years now Dave and I have attended Derby Dinner and enjoyed their fabulous productions. We began attending Derby Dinner occasionally in our early years of our marriage as a special treat. When our daughter was young, we would make plans to attend the Christmas production as well as any other productions geared to the family. After my daughter was grown and involved in her own life, we began attending Derby Dinner and decided that it was time for us to get season tickets. So, probably the past ten years or more, we have had season tickets and we always look forward to the upcoming show.
Sometimes we attend just the two of us, sometimes our daughter and a friend will join us, sometimes another couple will join us, or we may attend as a group. Whatever the situation, it has always been a fantastic evening. We always look forward to our evening together at Derby Dinner.
My favorite production this current season was “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.” It was absolutely outstanding.
Before retiring from teaching, I always looked forward to taking my class to the Christmas performance at Derby Dinner. It was a favorite of both the children and the parents. It was a great way to celebrate Christmas with the class.
In addition to their many productions, Derby Dinner also offers many concerts throughout the season generally on Monday evenings. They offer a variety of performers including gospel groups, country music singers, and more. We have found these to be another great evening of entertainment as well. Recently, we thoroughly enjoyed the Monarchs and look forward to their return to Derby Dinner. It was a wonderful evening.

Largest Cruise Ship Ever
Can you imagine a cruise ship 5 times larger than the Titantic? I can not believe this incredible cruise ship which was just recently unveiled by Royal Caribbean. It creates your own world or neighborhood as they say on the cruise ship. It is absolutely amazing and on the Oasis of the Seas, you can come to expect the unexpected.
