Fortress Party 2021 - The Kentucky Derby



Here were the unnamed horses, getting ready to race. 



We had all the Kentucky Derby races from 2008-2021 on continuous loop. Meanwhile, guests got submit suggestions for the names for each of the six horses. At midnight, we picked five names out of each box, and the audience voted on the best names. The winners got to take home the horse they named.

Except for horse #6. That one was a loaner, and we had to return it after the party. People still got to name that horse, but they put their suggestions in the shredder instead of the suggestion box.

The 'guests' sat behind this window, each with a giant hat or fascinator. 

Even Mitch McConnell was there.



And of course, we had a bourbon bar, featuring Kentucky-inspired beverages served by distinguished southern gentlemen.
