Don Your Derby Hat
By Jillian Manning | April 30, 2022
The fifth annual Hats & Horses Kentucky Derby Party returns to Iron Fish Distillery on Saturday, May 7, from 3pm to 8pm. Known as the two most exciting minutes in sports, the Kentucky Derby will, in fact, be overshadowed by the Dirt Road Derby, starring the horses and riders of Benzie and Manistee County. Post race, enjoy craft libations, culinary treats like chicken and waffles with Iron Fish’s own bourbon barrel-aged maple syrup, a hat and bowtie contest, a silent auction, and live music, all included with your $100 ticket. Don’t let the price tag scare you off—the event is held as a fundraiser for the Lakeshore Children’s Advocacy Center in Manistee, which works with children who have experienced physical and sexual abuse. Purchase tickets by going to ironfishdistillery.com/events or call (231) 378-3474 for more information. The party will be held at Iron Fish at 14234 Dzuibanek Rd. in Thompsonville.
