Put away your sneakers, it’s not that kind of dash!
On May 1st, Westgate Neighbors Association is hosting the first annual Derby Day Dash - 6 Houses, 6 Parties - Eat Up, Drink Up, Giddy Up!
This is a roving, progressive-style party with six Westgate residents opening their wonderful homes, serving sponsored hors d'oeuvres or small plates, plus themed cocktails and beer*. Mint Juleps, anyone? There will be a Hat Contest and Best Overall Ensemble Contest, so be sure to come sporting your finest!
Presale tickets will be $50 per person, with all proceeds from the Dash going toward Westgate Neighbors Association’s continuing efforts to strengthen the Westgate neighborhood and surrounding communities on the Hilltop.
This event starts at 4pm and ends at 7pm – televisions at each of the homes will be tuned to the race, expected to run at 6pm, so not a moment will be missed.
Presale ends on April 21st. Once presale ends, all tickets will be $75 – so get your tickets NOW!
To purchase tickets, go to http://www.westgateneighborsassociation.org - there is a PayPal link at the bottom of the page.
The event’s command center is at the “island†on the 100 block of Binns Blvd, just south of Crescent Dr. Wristbands will begin to be handed out at 4pm, operating much like a theater’s “will callâ€Â. While we will do our best to have a list of the folks that have already purchased tickets, it would be in your own best interest to bring a printout of your PayPal payment confirmation.
(For those wanting to map or use GPS, use the address 106 Binns Blvd, Columbus, OH 43204 – the island is immediately in front of this address, splitting Binns into a southbound lane and northbound lane.)
*We are very excited about this 21-and-over event, and truly hope to see you there, extravagant hat on head, cocktail in hand. We would prefer that you drink responsibly, but should you over-imbibe, Westgate Neighbors Association will provide a ride home.
Some of our sponsors include Outlook magazine, Hill Distributing, Spinelli’s Deli and Azteca Catering. This is a list that continues to grow.
