On Saturday, Banbury Cross Therapeutic Equestrian Center in Metamora Twp. hosted its 27th Annual Derby Day Celebration, a local fund-raiser held in conjunction with the 143rd Annual Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville.

A total of 250 stylishly-dressed ladies and dapperly-attired gentlemen came to watch the Kentucky Derby on a big screen, enjoy dinner and drinks, and raise more than $125,000 for Banbury Cross.
