Well, sometimes we just have too many party ideas and too little time!  Every year we have a Kentucky Derby party (complete with hats, mint juleps, betting and singing My Old Kentucky Home).  This year, we also wanted to have a 60s party send-off for Diana and David, who have decided, sadly, to move to Hillsborough to be closer to town (we are definitely a rural community). So we combined the two events, which made for some interesting costumes.
|  | 
| Mike, Betsy and Joyce - Mike has had his peace medallion since the 60s! | 
|  | 
| Anne and Glaeshia -skirts and dresses! | 
|  | 
| Glaeshia, Meg, Joan, Joyce, Karen and Karolyn looking very festive. We tried to get all the guys for a photo too, but no luck!

| Watching the horses getting loaded for the race | 
|  | 
| Karolyn is adorable! | 
|  | 
| Mary, David, Diana and Glaeshia | 
|  | 
| Evey was having a grand time! | 
|  | 
| We did an Elderberry Trivia Quiz. This is the team that won (Karolyn David, Dave and Richard)
 Dave has both a long history with Elderberry AND a great memory!
 | 
|  | 
| Jon - classic 60's!!! | 
|  | 
| David - very dapper!!!  The suit was from some costume event, but the hat was actually from a wedding! | 
|  | 
| There was 60s food too - fondue, casseroles and (my favorite) potato chips and Lipton onion soup dip! This was one of our less healthy meals!
 | 
|  | 
| Karen and Stewart had the winning horse and won the pot, UNTIL the winning horse was disqualified and Betsy won the pot!!
 | 
|  | 
| Diana, Glaeshia and Joyce working on the trivia quiz | 
|  | 
| Betsy, Mike and Mickey were a close second on the quiz | 
|  | 
| We finished off the evening with dancing to 60's music.  Wild night! |
