move your bloomin'... *ahem* true ladies don't swear.

it's hard enough to find a place up here that does country fried steak right, let alone find a way to join in on the festivities of the Kentucky Derby!

but don't pack those white gloves just yet! don on those puppies along with your widest-brimmed hat and head on over to the Italian Home's "Derby Day Boston" at the Harvard Club Downtown, an event being held on Saturday, May 3rd, 2008 from 4 to 8PM.

the ticket price may be steep, but the views of the harbor and the city as well as the mint juleps will make it all worthwhile - not to mention, the proceeds will benefit the programs and services provided by the Italian Home.

For more details or to purchase tickets, contact Alicia Chick at aliciachick@italianhome.org or call 617.524.3116 ext. 349.

OH, and if you mention OYFP, you can get a discounted ticket ($200 each, which is $50 off the original price!)

so, all you people born north of the mason-dixon line, start practicing that southern drawl and ask a georgia peach how to tilt your hat just so! and my fellow southerners out there, let's show these yankees what the kentucky derby is all about~ (we'll work on the country fried steak another day).

*ps. mention Derby Day Boston at Toppers on the Common and receive 10% off your purchase!

You could look as fashionable as this fine fellow!
