Raise Funds for Wellington's Independence Day Celebration!

Tickets sales are closed.  Guest will enjoy a Derby inspired dinner with Kentucky Hot Brown Sliders, bourbon meatballs, macaroni & cheese, coleslaw, and hushpuppies.  There will be mini hand pies [peach, Lemon, cherry, apple, pecan etc.]  for dessert.  The event also includes racing entertainment, music, and comic relief from Jolly Roger Entertainment- Including a brief pause where we will watch the Kentucky Derby live. 

Additional games including "horse racing", basket raffles, and the infamous "Dessert Dash" will also be played so bring your cash ready to have a good time.  Plus a cash bar.  Below you can see photos from the 2024 Race and winning horses.  It's a fun night to raise funds for our Independence Day and fireworks!  

Wear your Derby Hat and enter the contest for a chance to win $100 cash if you are voted to have the "Classiest" or the "Trashiest" hat.
