The Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce is preparing for Derby Day. This will be their second time hosting a Derby Day fundraiser, with proceeds providing educational opportunities for small businesses within the county.

The event, which will feature a live-viewing of the 148th Kentucky Derby, will take place at the Ro-Na Cultural Center in Ironton on Saturday, May 7. Included in the event will be a silent auction, horse race raffle, cash bar, contest for best hat and tie, live music, a photo booth and dinner.

Also hosted by the chamber as a lead up event will be a tea party during which attendees will learn how to design their own Derby Day hats.
