Bar Harbour 2013 Kentucky Derby Style
On Thursday, May 30th, 2013, I, along with co-pilot, Linda headed for Bar
Harbour. (too long a story to write about why we missed meeting up with the Nova
Scotianers) Top down, Kentucky Derby hats packed, and as little other
luggage as possible - the hats took priority as well as a lot of space
!
It was a quick trip! We arrived at the Wonder View to sunshine
and high temps – I might add, that lasted for
the entire week-end.
Upon arriving, we met up with old friends that were sipping and
anticipating the arrival of Hank & Mary. Registering in took very
little time, as did finding our registration bag – the bags were beautiful and
well designed – done to ‘theme and sewn , etc., by a VOCM
member. I couldn’t help but think that they sure do put ‘my plastic bags to
shame !!! The name of person that made the bags, - DIANE BOSSERT.
Not too much changes from last year – we were on room level with the Nova
Scotianers and folks from CSNB – first task for Kelly was to clean the car while
Linda got us a cold beer and then the fun began ! Everybody was on a
search for horses....and they were serious !!! Last year, it was ‘spark
plugs. The Nova Scotianers were real serious and
they never stopped searching. We were, as well, but only found FIVE
horses....compared to 30 plus that the NS’ers had !
It was a super week-end from start to finish.....from the parties in our
'parking lot to the eating and sipping downtown,the horse hunts, the Jordan Pond
drive and lunch, the horse hunts,the drive around the loop (loved that)
more horse hunting and the Kentucky Derby night ! Terrific gourmet style buffet,
wonderful photo ‘ops.....and prizes. I was pleased to accept
FIRST PLACE in my class......and it was really great to see Fern
and Grant win the big prize as ‘favourite of the WonderView ! (they also took
their class) Many more prizes went to the Canadian clubs from Nova
Scotia and New Brunswick...if there had been a prize for top party folks, I
think it would have gone to the same clubs !
As in the past, I managed to listen each evening to the piano ‘stylings of
the very talented Bill Trowell . A good time was had by all and I have my
reservation made at the Wonder View for next year ! Many thanks to Deb Shepard
and everyone from VOCM for the wonderful hospitality...oh, and a big thanks to
all of the other old friends and new friends that helped make this a super
weekend !
