20th Annual Kentucky Derby Day History Cherokee’s largest fundraising event of the year, the Kentucky Derby Day, was a galloping success! The event, held on May 6 at the Mill on Etowah, allowed attendees to gather and cheer on the 149th running of the Kentucky Derby while supporting the mission of History Cherokee. From the big hats that were atop the ladies’ heads during the Hat Parade and Contest to the bold bourbons available for tasting, and the fun pony pull competition, History Cherokee successfully raised more than $55,000 to aide in supporting educational programming and historic preservation efforts throughout Cherokee County.
