CALIFORNIA, Md. – On Saturday, May 4, 2024, the St. Mary’s County Chamber of Commerce held their first annual Kentucky Derby Watch Party at the Captain Walter Francis Duke Regional Airport.
This event helped raise money to support multiple non-profits in the local area such as the Chamber, Erin’s Star, Patuxent Habitat for Humanity, LSM & Life Atlas Foundation, SMC Arts Council, Friends of the Museum, and more.
Attendees were able to place bets on who they thought would win the race while also enjoying some amazing food and drinks.
A few attendees were correct in their guess, betting on the eventual winner, Mystik Dan. Sierra Leone was the runner-up with Forever Young coming in at third place.
The first-ever watch party was a huge success, raising over $5,000 for the local charities.
