Put On Your Finest Hat

Fun.

It’s almost time for the annual Kentucky “Derby Days” at our Cape May Bed and Breakfast, and we still have a couple of rooms available. We’re doing our part to keep this longstanding tradition alive! (more…)

We wanted to share the good time we all had this year at our annual Kentucky Derby Party. It was too much fun. Who do you think had the best hat?

Our Annual Kentucky Derby Party

Our Kentucky Derby party has been a tradition since our Gettysburg days before we came to Cape May in 1991. Requirements are a hat and a $2 bet for a horse randomly pulled from a vintage hat. Winner takes all…and then takes all to dinner (just kidding). No losers here – just lots of laughs and Chip’s mint juleps always contribute to the fun. Jerry and Tracey have not missed a year since their 1st trip in 2000. Steve works all year on his hat and was in blue in 2008.

Many guests rebook a year in advance. By the way – you always have first rights of refusal – by booking your room a year in advance – you are promised “your” room, and this year’s price.

We are sure that 2009 will be as much fun as all past Kentucky Derby parties. How can it not be? Great people, great hats, great food and drink. No matter who wins the kitty, everybody is a winner.
