Blue Grass Farms Charities

Over the weekend Matt and I had a fundraiser to attend.  The only problem... this was a boots and high heels event, basically it was cocktail attire.  When you are 9 months pregnant and going to have a kid in about 2 weeks, it's difficult to find anything to wear that looks good-- and even more difficult to put on high heel for an evening!  But, I did it :)  Thanks to the clothes of one of the other vet's wives who just had a baby a while back, I was able to pull something together that looked ok. 

Matt's practice was a big sponsor of the evening, so we had a table for 10.  Although, only about 4 showed up.  They had dinner, silent auction, live auction and gambling.  We made it through the dinner and the live auction and then headed out to meet our weekend guests (more on that later).  The charity helps lower income families who work the Keeneland Race Track.  They help provide medical care to these families, housing, etc.  They also throw a huge Christmas party for the kids of these families.  I don't know what they ended up raising, but by the end of the live auction someone said they had raised close to $30,000!  I thought that was pretty impressive! 

So that was our big Friday night....  (of course the dogs had to be in the picture!)
