Whether or not you are one of the millions who will be watching the legendary race, the Kentucky Derby reminds us of all of the great books and movies about horses.

If you are planning on watching the race, create some family competition. Have each person pick a winner before the race begins. You can make your picks public, this allows you to yell and cheer for your horse or you can write down your picks and not reveal them until after the race is over.

Dress up for the race by designing your own Kentucky Derby hat. Your local craft store is a great resource for hats and accessories that can easily be attached with hot glue.
