PLAINS, Pa. — Hundreds tried their odds and donned their finest hats in Luzerne County for Kentucky Derby Day.
Mohegan Pennsylvania in Plains Township hosted a special edition of "Party on the Patio."
People could dress up in derby-themed clothes, and enjoy live music. There was even a hat contest. The party attracted plenty of first-timers.
"This is a fun time, just seeing everything and experiencing," said Zina Cashner of Bloomsburg.
"Experiencing for the first time...I've been wanting to come every year. I lived down in Florida where I went to the dog track a couple times so, I've always wanted to do the horses," added Bill Cashner, also of Bloomsburg.
The party near Wilkes-Barre rolled on even after the horses were in the barn.
