I was going through my posts when I realized I had yet to post Pt. 3 of an entry I had blogged back in October, At The Track. Part 1 is here and Part 2 is here.
Part 3
After watching a couple of races and listening to one spectator drop the F-bomb that would even make Tony Montana blush I headed outside to The Hats and Horseshoe Party.
The view from the top of the stairs.
Making my way through the crowd I snapped a couple of pics including one of the jockeys.
There was a massive lineup to enter the party as you can see by the picture below.
Upon entering the party here's one of the first tents a person encounters. How convenient for those who needed to be schooled in the art of gambling.
It was only when I heard a passerby scream and then laugh I realized there was a person hiding inside this artificial shrub. Then again I suppose the fact that the shrub was in the shape of a portly human being should have been a good tip off.
The Human Shrub was grabbing unsuspected people as they walked by. I'm not too sure how this fit in with the theme of the party but I suppose it was strictly for entertainment purposes only.
Also present, bicycle cops making sure everyone was behaving.
Several tables and chairs were set up for those who didn't have a seat inside.
A large screen was set up so they too could watch the races. Directly in front of it was a stage where a performer (whom I'd never heard of) was belting out classic tunes.
One of the many sponsors was Mercedes Benz who was giving away a Benz in a raffle.
How about a Mobile Brewery!
Alexander Keith was promoting their Hop Series Lager by having pretty girls in cute little shorts informing party-goers about their new ale and offering a free sample.
I politely declined. I'm not a beer drinker. I don't know about you but I just can't get past the smell of beer. It's awful.
To Be Continued....

My loyal and dear readers, it's finally Friday.
Whatever your plans are have an awesome weekend. ~x
XOXOXOXO,

Good morning, dear. Fridays always get here just in time for the weekend to begin!
I'm not that much of a beer drinker either. About the only place where I have been known to drink beer has been at baseball games...
My Mom was German... and always enjoyed a good beer...
Happy Weekend!!

I think you posted this to divert readers away from just how cold it is outside now-a-days. Happy Friday.
I would have agreed with you about beer until I recently tried something called "real ale". Do you have that Canada, Miss Princess?
