Lake Forest resident Erin Fogarty and her mother, Michelle Wheeler, were selected as this year’s Kentucky Derby Museum Ball co-chairs. Erin has been on the committee for two years, and this year the pair was asked to co-chair the event. This incredible event is the official kickoff to Derby season, and these two have been working very hard with the fabulous Kentucky Derby museum team for the past several months to prepare for the special evening.

This year’s ball theme is “Derby Fashion”, where guests are asked to pair headwear with their evening gowns. The Kentucky Derby Museum Ball is a celebration of Derby fashion, tradition, and community, and it brings together friends, supporters, and partners for an unforgettable night. They are so excited to celebrate the start of Derby season at this special kickoff event.
