It’s not all fun and games in The Mayflower Community (Grinnell IA). Sometimes there is serious learning and big-time betting. Hosted by residents, Suzanne Schwengels and Darwin Kinney, the annual Kentucky Derby party was held May 4th. In addition to mint juleps and our usual fabulous hors d’oeuvres, party-goes bedecked in their best bonnets and caps had the opportunity to play “Kentucky Derby Trivia” and bet on the ponies. Actually, the prize money for the trivia contest was greater than for the race.
Even though the 2019 145th running of the Derby was filled with controversy, everyone at Mayflower seemed to get along. That cannot all be attributed to the mint juleps as alternate nonalcoholic drinks were also offered.
