It’s that time of the year where we combine our love of the Kentucky Derby, Cinco de Mayo and Rubber Ducks into one night of fun at the club.
At 6:00pm, the running of the ducks will commence. For those that are new to the club, we’ll take between 300-400 numbered rubber ducks and dump them at the top of the spillway and race them down the stream behind 18 green. The first five ducks to cross the stripe finish in the money. Ducks are currently being sold at the bar. $5 per duck and will get charged to your member account. Payouts will be determined by number of ducks.
At 6:15pm, we will have a Hat Contest for those who dress up for the occasion. If you’ve ever watched the Kentucky Derby, you know the deal. We’re looking for the best hats from our membership. I remember last year’s contest being pretty competitive. Lots of great entries.
And because this is horse race, there will be the traditional ‘offerings’ throughout the evening before the horses enter the gates.
Post time is somewhere between 6:45pm – 6:57pm.
Chef Steven will be putting together a great ‘Cinco de Mayo Buffet’ that will include several kinds of tacos, toppings, rice, beans, chips, salsa, and even churros. Food will be available at the conclusion of the Kentucky Derby.
Mel and her crew will have many traditional specialty drinks available from both genres.
Cost for the event is only $25 per person (ducks & horses not included). Reservations can be made by emailing us at reservations@grovecitycc.com, using the Phone APP, or calling us at 724-748-4912 x3. And you can always sign-up directly in the Grille Room on our sign-up table next to the bar. We need your reservations no later than 4pm on Thursday, 4/30. Add $5 for RSVPs after or walk-ins if available.
Because of the event, we will not be serving ala carte dinner service on Saturday evening.
This is really a fun event at the club. Come on out and cheer on your ducks and horses.
