PICK: Hobby Horse Derby

Hold your horses: Get off your high horse and grab a pool noodle pony at the Hobby Horse Derby. All ages are welcome to saddle up and try their luck in racing or dressage. Winners will have a chance to compete in a stick horse race at the Foxfield racetrack in the fall. Spectators can partake in mint juleps, or head over to the craft stand to create a show-stopping, Kentucky Derby-worthy hat. 

Saturday 6/5, $5, 10am. IX Art Park, 522 Second St. SE, 207-2355. 

Free news is good news!

Nearly $1 million a year goes into the work you’re reading—covering local government, spotlighting the arts, and telling the stories no one else does. If you value that, help fund it for $10 a month (or whatever tax-deductible gift you can afford). Save the free word.
