Good Morning! ☀️ Get set for a weekend that's bursting with Margs and Horses! Imagine yourself knee-deep in a feast of Cinco de Mayo tacos so tasty they'll make you do the salsa, and margaritas so cool they'll make you want to throw on shades and strut your stuff! And then there's more! You get ready to experience thundering hooves and the adrenaline rush of the Kentucky Derby. Whether you're rooting for the underdog or just ready to strut a stylish hat, it's sure to be a blast. So, grab your sombrero, dust off your fanciest fascinator, and join us as we dive into the festivities, the local stories and create memories that'll have us smiling all year long!
