The Jefferson Rotary Charity Auction is known for offering unique items. This year’s auction, slated for Friday, Nov. 19, continues that with six tickets to the one and only Kentucky Derby, live and in person. On the homestretch of the world’s most famous horse race, six lucky ticket holders will have the experience of a lifetime.
“Thanks to the Rotary Club of Jefferson this is your chance to take in America’s most iconic horse racetrack atmosphere, the freshness of spring, the mint juleps, and of course, the big hats!” said Rotarian Doug Rieder, who secured the tickets.
The tickets include entrance to both the 2022 Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks race schedule. The Oaks races are Friday, May 6 and the famed Derby races are Saturday, May 7. All races are run at the historic Churchill Downs in Louisville, KY. Location of the seats is between the quarter pole and one-eighth pole, perfect for viewing the final leg of the most famous horse race in the country!
To bid on these once in a lifetime seats, attendance at the auction is a must. Tickets for individuals, couples or even a whole table are available by logging onto www.32auctions.com/JeffersonRotary.
