The Kentucky Derby Party, an annual event held at the Chillicothe Country Club, is a fundraising event sponsored by Hope Clinic of Ross County. Guests are treated to an elegant dinner, viewing of the 149th running of the Kentucky Derby on a giant screen television, plus entertainment including games and prizes. A photo station with a Kentucky Derby themed live horse and jockey will be available as guests enter on the red carpet. Master of ceremonies Dan Ramey will be the host for the event and will be joined this year by Mike Haller as auctioneer. A live auction with unique one-of-a-kind items will be held immediately following the Derby race and closing of the silent auction. Doors open at 4:30 pm with dinner being served at 6:00 pm.
Ladies are encouraged to wear hats similar to those worn at the Kentucky Derby race at Churchill Downs and men are encouraged to wear a hat or tie that reflects the theme. A prize will be awarded for the best Ladies Derby hat.
