And for the non bourbon drinkers, you might wanna try these
MOJITO

Now, if the kids wanna join in, you can add a srpig of mint to their lemonade or sprite or sierra mist or whatever [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

As for the grub, well anything goes, but if you feel the need to do the combo fiesta, then a taco bar type thang might just do the trick. Just grill up some chicken or cook off some ground beer and lay out all the options with some taco sheels or tortilla shells and let everyone do their own thang.
Get some takeout, fire up the grill, do whatever you wanna do. It's your party!
"it's your thang
do whatcha wanna do"

Chips, dips, you know the deal with the rest [img]wink.gif[/img]
Do the crudite (carrots, celery, cukes, trees...) if you want a healthy option

Ice, plenty of ice!

You can either set up a betting window, or just pull the horses names from a hat if you like.

Sure the race is only a little over 2 minutes long, but hey it's a party [img]graemlins/party.gif[/img]

Dont overspend, pass the hat or ask everyone to bring something.
Most importantly, have fun! [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
