🎩🐎 Hold Onto Your Hats, Huntington Beach... It’s Derby Day at the Elks! 👒🍹 Saturday, May 3rd, 2025 | Post Time Party in the Game Room Ladies and Gentlemen, Thoroughbred Enthusiasts, and Mint Julep Connoisseurs— The most exciting two minutes in sports deserves a whole day of Southern-fried fun, and we’re off to the races right here at Huntington Beach Elks Lodge #1959! Join us in the big game room—yes, the one with the shuffleboard, pool tables, and now... betting slips hotter than a thoroughbred’s tail in July. On this day, we swap cue sticks for racing picks and deal in nothing but winning trifectas and losing dignity. 👗 Hat Contest – Darlings, Let Your Derby Dreams Run Wild! Whether you're rocking a fascinator fit for royalty or a sunhat that doubles as satellite coverage, wear it loud and proud. Gents, don’t think you’re off the hook—dust off your bow ties, break out your seersucker suits, and compete for the title of “Most Dapper Stallion.” 🥃 Mint Juleps Flowing Like Churchill Downs Gossip The bar’s open and the juleps are colder than a jockey’s nerves before the bell. Sip, socialize, and swizzle with style. 🍽️ Potluck Southern Hospitality – Bring a Dish to Share Got a famous deviled egg recipe? Baked mac 'n cheese that makes folks slap the table and holler? Bring it on! This is a potluck, y’all—and we’re hungry enough to eat a horse (figuratively, of course). 🎰 “Bet on the Ponies” Friendly Wagers & Big Laughs We may not have Churchill Downs turf, but we’ve got spirit, screen TVs, and pool table rails perfect for leaning and loudly claiming you "almost had the trifecta." 🐎 So saddle up, shine your boots, starch that linen, and join us for a day of high stakes, high hats, and high spirits! May 3rd | Huntington Beach Elks Lodge | Big Game Room It’s not just a party, it’s a gallop through tradition, laughter, and a little Southern mischief. See y’all at the post!
