Party Recap: Ferdinand's Ball 2011 [Kentucky Derby]

Ferdinand's Ball raises money for Old Friends on Oaks Eve

Ferdinand's Ball was held last night at the Frazier International History Museum. In its sophomore year, the goal was to slim down their expenses to maximize fundraising for the ever important Old Friends Farm, which rescues retired thoroughbreds, saving them from the likes of the glue factory.

Come for the horses, stay for the Margarita Bar.

Last year was the first for Ferdinand's Ball and this year they are coming back with a fresh face. This Oaks Eve fundraiser falls directly on Cinco de Mayo and the organizers have not let that go unnoticed. How many other Derby Parties will have a Margarita Bar?

Most Derby parties function as a fundraiser for different animal friendly charities, but some are just a pay-at-the-door affair. In either case, the atmosphere should be festive and the drinks a bit on the strong side . . . Derby only comes once a year.

Ferdinand's Ball - Oaks Eve [Kentucky Derby]

Not all Derby Parties are created equal.  Ferdinand's Ball, Thursday April 29th at the Frazier Museum, is the first Derby Party all about the horses.
The Ferdinand's Ball, hosted by Access Hollywood's Maria Menounos, is not just another Kentucky Derby Party. Yes, there will be plenty of celebrities, hats, cocktails, and food, but this Derby Party is all about the horses. Considering the Kentucky Derby is a horse race, I think this is wonderful!
