Here's one on the calendar for Friday worth knowing about. There's a Kentucky Derby Hat Making Workshop happening this afternoon at the Dunbar Community Center, starting at five p.m.

Oh, that's perfect timing for Derby weekend! Is this something Parks and Rec is putting on?

Exactly, it's through Parks and Recreation. They're calling it a hands-on experience where you design and create your own stylish, over-the-top hat inspired by Derby fashion.

I love that. And knowing how popular these workshops can be, do you need to sign up ahead of time?

You do need to R-S-V-P, and they're saying spots are limited. You can email k-caudill at lexingtonky dot gov to reserve your spot.

The best part is it's free and all ages welcome, right? So families could definitely make this a fun Derby eve activity.

Perfect way to get into the Derby spirit while making something uniquely yours.
