Call it what you like – “The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports” or “The Fastest Two Minutes in Sports” either way it’s a fun time!! When you think of the Kentucky Derby, what comes to mind? Fast horses? The ladies and those awesome hats? Mint Juleps? Seer sucker? Dan Fogelberg? How about ALL of the ABOVE?
At Derby Day at The Stables, it’s so much fun to see all of the ladies (and sometimes the guys) in their colorful hats and the way that the guys can be so dapper in their sear sucker or other creative attire. Of course, we’ll have music, a little finger food and drink, and we’ll raise some money for Children’s Harbor (50/50 Drawing) so bring some real money (CASH)!
Post time is scheduled for around 6pm, but Derby history always has the start running a tad late. On-time or late, we’ll gather around the big screens and cheer on our favorite horses! There are some great prizes for the way you’re dressed and the luck of the draw! Come join your friends for Derby Day at The Stables!

Are you an avid Personal Watercraft (PWC) rider, or do you know someone who is? If you are interested in spending eight days cruising 600 miles on the Tennessee River and raising money for the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, then this is the place for you!
To find out what the Tennessee River 600 is really all about (and no, it is not a race), check out our About Us page. If you don’t have enough time in your schedule to join us for the entire trip, check out our 2011 itinerary (we will have the 2012 itinerary available as the event gets closer) and consider joining us for just a day or two. Hopefully, we’ll see you on the water!
