'Hats & Horses' Kentucky Derby party event returns for fifth year

The Louisiana Delta Community College Foundation will host the fifth annual Hats & Horses Kentucky Derby celebration on Friday, May 2.

The event is scheduled from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at Hotel Monroe, located at 120 Walnut Street in downtown Monroe. Admission is $50.

Attendees can expect things like a classic Mint Julep bar, derby-inspired cuisine, and a "Pick your Pony" competition with a chance to win a $250 Visa gift card.

Proceeds from the event will directly benefit the Louisiana Delta Community College Foundation, supporting scholarships and student assistance funds.

Funds raised help individuals enrolled in both short‑term workforce certification programs and long‑term academic programs at LDCC.
