Tell Me Something Good: There Will Be Mint Juleps And Horses

Even though Coronavirus is still very much a problem around the country little by little it does feel like we are getting a tiny bit closer to normal as far as sporting events go.

The Travelers Championship is happening this weekend here in Connecticut and now Churchill Downs has announced they WILL allow fans to attend this year’s Kentucky Derby. The Derby has been rescheduled for September 5th, during Labor Day weekend.  They are saying there will be fewer fans than usual allowed in and everyone will be encouraged to wear masks. I would imagine there will be social distancing guidelines in place too. Even if you’re watching from home at least we all get to put on fancy outfits and watch the horses while sipping a mint julep right?!
