Details
We're celebrating Spring with our Annual Kentucky Derby Gala. We'll be celebrating in style. We're inviting all ladies to come out and join us to celebrate Spring and the Kentucky Derby. Find your favorite Spring attire and if you have a special Derby hat please wear it and show us your special Derby style.
We've been doing our Gala's for over 7 years. We hold our Gala's at the Marriott in Fair Oaks. The Marriott, invites us in to enjoy their Lounge and Restaurant for the evening. The Marriot's staff looks forward to hosting our Gala's.
We start with our Happy Hour, at 5pm, in the Lounge. For the Derby, the Bartender will ready the Mint Juleps and traditional Derby cocktails. Then ladies who care to do dinner, can do so, in the Marriott's 703 Restaurant. The Chef always has a fresh and seasonal menu for us. We'll spend the rest of the evening socializing.
Our Gala's don't have any set schedule. We want you to arrive whenever you are ready We'll have ladies arriving at 5pm - 10pm. So, you can arrive, whenever you are ready and want to make you special entrance.
But wait there's more. There will be a hat contest. We'll be doing a contest for those wearing Derby hats. We'll be giving out prizes for the the best derby hat and the most original hat. We want to see big hats, Add your own design and attitude in your hat. Hat Contest will be at 9pm, during our announcements.
This will be our last Gala, until the Fall. If you care to attend a Gala, this is the one you want to attend.
Your spouse, or date are more than welcome to join us, this evening and all our Gala's and any of our events.
@melodeescarlet I KNOW your KD hat will not disappoint Melodee🥰
(No pressure though girl🤣)
@gracepal My KD outfit isn't over the top, but, I admit, is a little splashy. 😉
(coming from Miss Subtlety, shocking, I know lol)
@melodeescarlet Yeah, you NEVER try and stand out🤣! I’ll look forward to the “Featured Photos” day after Derby.
@melodeescarlet Hi Melodee! It looks like that weekend just cleared for us. Rhonda and I would just love to attend 😍.
@rileyx Excellent! When you get there, please come up and introduce yourself! I'll introduce you to people and you can settle in. FYI I'll be blonde, so don't go looking for the redhead 😉
@melodeescarlet sorry I missed the event - but I’m traveling to NOVa / Fredericksburg to Silver Springs MD next Friday 5/16 if you or anyone is around in the early afternoon ? I have straight friends I’m meeting late afternoon is SSprings …
Can't make it this time, but thanks for posting! See you another time!
I have just decided to come out not sure I am ready for this but I want to
@jamie-webster Hey there, good for you! If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask! I'm one of the event hostesses.
Also, the group has a negotiated rate at the Marriott. If you go to Meetup.com and search for the DCATS group, you should find the link to the Marriott rate. 🙂
@jamie-webster Good for you Jamie. I just went out first time last weekend and I'm a year older than you : )
I am older been crossdressing as long since middle school I am older now (65) not sure I can pull it off. The only person I shared this with was my late wife she was good to a point
@jamie-webster Hi Jamie, I'd just suggest finding something you feel fab in. People will come in those outfits, so that's the best thing to wear! 🙂
If you want, I can give you my ph# and you can give me a call when you arrive and I'll come out to the parking lot to walk you in. 🙂
