Make Plans for Derby Day 2012!
The 30th Annual Derby Day will be held on Saturday, May 5, 2012 at the Georgia International Horse Park in Conyers, Ga.
Derby Day has been an Atlanta tradition since 1983. Each year, the event is held on the first Saturday in May to coincide with the Kentucky Derby.
Considered a highlight of Atlanta's spring social calendar, Derby Day attracts more than 1,000 people each year, as well as hundreds of sponsors.
All proceeds generated from the event go to support Shepherd Center's
Therapeutic Recreation Program.
The Georgia International Horse Park in Conyers, Georgia was the site for the 1996 Olympic Games equestrian events. The Derby Day location within the horse park is a beautiful natural setting along the Yellow River in an open, grassy infield where driving events and polo matches are often held.
Derby Day is organized by Shepherd Center's Junior Committee.
