I don't know what got into me, or how this idea even came into my head. I was talking with my friends one day and they were saying how they wished there were more social opportunities for the teenagers. At that moment I decided to have a Kentucky Derby party for the kids 16ish+. I don't know anything about the state of Kentucky except they have some really good fried chicken. I don't know anything about horses. I only know the Kentucky Derby is a horse race where people get dressed up and wear fancy hats. It was a fun party, and the kids had a great time and I think they really liked dressing up and having the fun hats and clothes. It forced us (mainly me) to clean up the house and get rid of things that needed to go along time ago.
