There is, of course, plenty going on surrounding the Kentucky Derby in 2009, but other than a flourish of chapeau fashions on Oaks and Derby days, the hats used to be underserved.
Sponsored by the Courier-Journal/courier-journal.com, WAVE-3, and 102.3 THE MAX, The Outrageous Derby Hat Contest is a live event scheduled for Saturday, April 11, in the middle of Westport Village. Atherton High School Choir will perform at the beginning of the contest, which will be hosted by Lynda Lambert 102.3 THE MAX, and feature contestants modeling their Derby Hats for a live audience and a panel of celebrity judges. Winners will be announced at the end of the live event.
