I am going to purchase a ticket, but I will not be able to make it this time. This will be the second derby I will miss in nearly 30 years. My extended family sold the lake house we have had in the family since circa 1960. Both my grandparents have passed and they want to cash in. My immediate family (parents, siblings) and I are not able to meet the asking price. Maybe this isn't the place for this, but I am so upset and don't know how to grieve for something like this.
I love the derby and fully support the rotary that my grandparents were a huge part of for years. Hey, maybe I'll win one of the drawings. I hope it's a fantastic year for the derby!
