Editor’s Note:

As we have done now for several years running, our “gang” loaded up for another grand celebration of good times at the beautiful Louisville Thoroughbred Society for New Year’s Eve. The theme, this year, was “A Land of Enchantment.” And, all one has to do is give my loving wife a themed party and just let her go to work.

After all, she dresses up in pure style, grace and beauty — no matter what the subject matter.

Me, on the other hand?

She dresses me up for a few laughs, chuckles, odd looks, and pure humility of the moment.

But, nevertheless, we dress up.

And, we have fun.

With one.

With all.

We had celebrities join us — like Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks winning trainer Kenny McPeek.

We had power players join us — like great friends, horse owners and Speaker of the Kentucky House of Representatives David & Lori Osborne.

We had sports icons and sports casting Hall of Famers — like Dave and Donna Baker.

We had a few dredges of society, or, at the least, one — blushing now.

But rest assured.

We had a lot of good times, smiles, laughs and dances to ring in the New Year in style.

We hope you enjoyed a great day/night of celebration, too. After all, we are never guaranteed another one. So, let’s celebrate the ones we have. Each day. Every day.

And, let’s enjoy a day at the races.

Each day.

Every day.

Here’s a few looks of our group
