Two Reasons to Enjoy Saturday - But Which do You Prefer?

Saturday brings two popular party reasons on the same day.. with near polar opposite reasons.

Partygoers have multiple reasons to look forward to Saturday, but with distinclty unique styles.

At one ond of the spectrum, you have Cinco de Mayo, which has become a de facto holiday across the nation.  Many local restaurants will be celebrating with drink and food specials. Elsewhere, home cooks will be firing up their favorite Mexican dishes, and the party will be colorful and festive.

Others will be celebrating that annual festival of equine speed, The Kentucky Derby.   Derby parties, as usual, are featuring fancy hats, mint juleps, and lively discussion over who is the better horse right up until the starting gates open at Churchill Downs... then the cheering really begins.
