The Junior League of the Emerald Coast presents The Derby Party

DESTIN, Fla. – Join the Junior League of the Emerald Coast for an evening of high fashion and hats at The Derby Party on Saturday, May 2 from 3 to 7 p.m. at Emerald Bay Golf Club.  This fundraising event will feature a live showing of the running of the 141st Kentucky Derby along with a silent auction, horse raffle and contests for the best Derby hat, best dressed couple, best bow tie and biggest hat. Guests will enjoy classic mint juleps, a southern-style luncheon and live music and dancing.
