njoying Kentucky burgoo, mint juleps and the music of Ricky Nye and Chris Douglas, guests watched the Run for the Roses on May 3 without leaving Northern Kentucky. The Dinsmore Homestead hosted its annual Derby at the Dinsmore Day on the grounds of the historic homestead in Burlington. Besides sipping Kentucky’s signature cocktail, guests bid on a silent auction and took tours of the 1800s Dinsmore House. The hat contest was a highlight for the party, a celebration of Kentucky heritage. Derby at the Dinsmore has taken place at the homestead for more than a decade to benefit Dinsmore. The historic living history site contains a house completed in 1842 and several outbuildings. Visitors can learn what rural life was like in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
