Raising funds in style

Date:

Guests dressed in their derby best gathered at the Woodlands Legion on March 7 for the Woodlands Museum’s Virtual Kentucky Derby fundraiser. Participants sponsored races, horses and jockeys in advance, while friendly wagers and 50/50-style draws added to the excitement, with ties decided by a roll of the dice. The event raised $3,800 toward painting three buildings at the museum site. Peggy Jackson won the prize for best fascinator and Karen Walsh was named best dressed. Pictured left to right during a tie-breaker are Peggy Jackson, Karen Walsh and Brenda Balan.
