Not many people from in and around the Tallassee area will have the opportunity to be in attendance at Churchill Downs for this year’s running of the Kentucky Derby. However, the members of the Tallassee Mt. Vernon Theatre’s Operations Board has a remedy for that by hosting its second Derby Day Party May 3 at the City of Tallassee Guest House.

“We had around 170 people at 1220 last year for our first Derby Day,” said Kami Scarborough, head of the Tallassee Mt. Vernon Theatre’s Fundraising board. “Moving it to the Guest House gives us a little more room.”
