Off to Keeneland
If you were like me (two months ago), you’ve never heard of Keeneland and have very little excitement about going there. However, I now know what it is and am a little more excited to go there.
To start at the beginning, I signed up to be a Maker’s Mark Ambassador, which means I encourage people to drink Maker’s Mark when they choose to drink bourbon. Basically, I get free address labels and get invited to fun events. Such as the horse race happening at Keeneland tomorrow in Lexington, KY.
Neither Jason nor I have ever been to a horse race, although I have been to a race track. Growing up in southern California, it was inevitable that some social event happened at a race track. Anyway, the day’s events consist of the horse race, then a party in downtown Lexington with $2 Maker’s Mark drinks. Saturday, we’re going on a tour of the distillery in Loretta, KY and I get to dip my own bottle. In wax. It’s not as dirty as it sounds, sorry.

I :::LOVE::: Keeneland! I lived in Lexington for 17 years and that was one of the most exciting things to do! I always limited myself to not betting more than 20 bucks and once won enough to buy my daughter a t-shirt (and still walk away with $20). It’s great fun! Enjoy it!
