Banquet Derby

Today was our annual Four Winds Ski and Social club Banquet. The club hosts one every year and there's usually a theme, great food, games and prizes. This year the theme was Kentucky Derby so all the women had to come wearing there formal attire and best derby hat. The guys also dressed in formal wear and had to come in there best derby ties. In honor of the Kentucky Derby they had a delicious southern food buffet and a best derby dessert contest.
Some of the other contests included best derby hat for women and best derby tie for men. My mothers hat won for best derby hat, it was the most creative. She had some white material draped across the hat to look like snow with signs from different ski places and mini little cameras on the hat. It was very tourist like!














After food they usually do awards and they come up with the most creative awards and little prizes for each award. As they say every year "nothing in the club goes un noticed". Something silly or funny you did in one of the trips over the year could come back to haunt you.
They had a DJ playing music all night and I put together a slide show of all the outings and ski trips we did this past year. It contained video's and picture's that everyone from the club emailed to me.
Another fun game we did was a fake horse race. We had three horses on sticks and you would roll the dice and move that many tiles. Everyone placed bets on which horse they wanted to win and that $160 dollars raised from bets went to the American Blind Skiers association. Overall it was a fun night and a great year! I hope to make it to many more ski trips and outings in 2011. What a great club and group of people.
