Put on your best Derby-wear and come sip on a Mint Julep while enjoying Springfield’s one & only Derby Day! We'll be celebrating by hosting a watch party for "The Greatest Two Minutes in Sports"!
Our infamous Whisk(e)y Lab The Whisk(e)y Lab will be collaborating with Hood River Distillery & preparing traditional Derby cocktails including the Mint Julep, Oaks Lily, Horse's Neck and Brown Derby; all crafted with spirits from Hood River Distillery. Bourbon/Whiskey flights will also be available. The flights will feature Woodford Reserve - the official bourbon for the Kentucky Derby - Blanton's Single Barrel and Calumet Farm as well as hand-selected bourbons and whiskeys from HRD. Any Derby cocktail or flight purchase from the Whisk(e)y Lab will include a raffle ticket for prizes and swag!
Place your ‘bets’ on your favorite horse with the reps from Hood River Distillers and get entered into the raffle for some excellent prizes including gift cards to PublicHouse, a Hood River Distillery Guitar and so much more.
A photobooth will be on site, stocked full of festive props to show off your dapper outfits. We’ll be holding a “Fancy Hat Competition” so come wearing your largest, loudest and flashiest hat for a chance to be dubbed the honor of the Best Derby Day Hat! Winner gets awarded a gift pack and bragging rights!
Stay tuned for our complete schedule… coming soon!
