Favorite thing: We went to Churchill Downs and went into the museum as there is no racing there at the moment. There were a lot of very interesting exhibits.

The fourth picture shows some artwork done by children, and apparently there are rotating art exhibits by children because there was one when we were there, and there's one there called Horsing Around with Art: A Student's View of the Sport of Kings which runs from January 17- March 18, 2007

An equine-related art competition with works submitted by students from Jefferson County public, private and parochial schools. All the artwork reflects the Kentucky Derby, Churchill Downs or the Thoroughbred racing industry and captures the rich tradition and heritage of the Kentucky Derby

Fondest memory: I took a picture of the band uniform with an M on it because I thought that might stand for Maryland. I couldn't figure out what it would be doing in Kentucky.

Review Helpfulness: 2.5 out of 5 stars
